Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.
DIET : WXRSVWGH :: COZY : ?
- AXYLMABBC
- BXYMNABBC
- CXZLMZABC
- DXYLMABCD
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relationship between the first term DIET and second term WXRSVWGH.
Notice that each letter of the 4-letter word DIET corresponds to a pair of 2 letters in the 8-letter code.
Let's look at the opposite letters (pairs whose positional sum is 27):
Opposite of D is W (4+23=27)
Opposite of I is R (9+18=27)
Filo
Opposite of E is V (5+22=27)
Filo
Opposite of T is G (20+7=27)
Now examine how the pairs are formed around these opposite letters:
For D→ Opposite is W. The pair is WX (W and W+1).
For I→ Opposite is R. The pair is RS (R and R+1).
For E→ Opposite is V. The pair is VW (V and V+1).
For T→ Opposite is G. The pair is GH (G and G+1).
Let's apply this exact pattern to COZY:
C→ Opposite is X. Pair: X,X+1→XY
O→ Opposite is L. Pair: L,L+1→LM
Z→ Opposite is A. Pair: A,A+1→AB
Y→ Opposite is B. Pair: B,B+1→BC
Combining these pairs sequentially gives: XYLMABBC.
