GLOWS : UPMEI :: FLYER : ?
- AVPCWJ
- BVPAUH
- CEKXDQ
- DUOBVI
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relationship between GLOWS and UPMEI.
First, reverse the word GLOWS → S W O L G
Now look at the operations from SWOLG to UPMEI:
S+2=U
W−7=P
O−2=M
L−7=E
G+2=I
This looks non-uniform. Let's try direct reverse or opposite letter pairs.
Let's check direct correspondence:
G(7)→U(21) : +14
L(12)→P(16) : +4
O(15)→M(13) : −2
W(23)→E(5) : +8
S(19)→I(9) : −10
Let's try cross mapping:
S(19)+2=U
W(23)→P(16) (Opposite of W is D(4) +12?)
Let's check opposition values:
Opposite of G = T →T+1=U
Opposite of L = O →O+1=P
Opposite of O = L →L+1=M
Opposite of W = D →D+1=E
Opposite of S = H →H+1=I
Wow! The pattern is: Opposite Letter + 1 for each letter in the direct order.
Let's apply this pattern to FLYER:
F→Opposite is U→U+1=V
L→Opposite is O→O+1=P
Y→Opposite is B→B+1=C
E→Opposite is V→V+1=W
R→Opposite is I→I+1=J
So, FLYER becomes VPCWJ.
