Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's study the relationship between the pairs of letters.
Each pair consists of alphabets that are opposite to each other in the standard alphabetical order (where the sum of their positions is equal to 27):
B(2)+Y(25)=27
G(7)+T(20)=27
D(4)+W(23)=27
Now let's examine the shift from the first pair to the second pair:
B
+5
G
Y
−5
T
Applying the same pattern to DW:
D(4)
+5
I(9)
W(23)
−5
R(18)
Since I and R are opposite letters (9+18=27), the missing pair is IR.
