FAE G is related to MHLN in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, IDHJ is related to PKOQ. To which of the given options is LGKM related, following the same logic?

The correct answer is
SNRT

Understanding the Alphabetical Pattern

This question asks us to identify a pattern or relationship between pairs of letter groups based on their position in the English alphabet. We are given two examples: FAE G relates to MHLN, and IDHJ relates to PKOQ. We need to apply the same logic to find the corresponding group for LGKM.

Analyzing the First Pair: FAE G to MHLN

Let's find the position of each letter in the English alphabet:

  • F is the 6th letter.
  • A is the 1st letter.
  • E is the 5th letter.
  • G is the 7th letter.

And for MHLN:

  • M is the 13th letter.
  • H is the 8th letter.
  • L is the 12th letter.
  • N is the 14th letter.

Now, let's see the difference in positions between the corresponding letters:

Letter 1 Position 1 Letter 2 Position 2 Difference (Pos 2 - Pos 1)
F 6 M 13 13 - 6 = 7
A 1 H 8 8 - 1 = 7
E 5 L 12 12 - 5 = 7
G 7 N 14 14 - 7 = 7

The pattern observed is that each letter in the first group is shifted forward by 7 positions in the alphabet to get the corresponding letter in the second group.

Verifying the Logic with the Second Pair: IDHJ to PKOQ

Let's confirm this pattern using the second example:

  • I is the 9th letter.
  • D is the 4th letter.
  • H is the 8th letter.
  • J is the 10th letter.

And for PKOQ:

  • P is the 16th letter.
  • K is the 11th letter.
  • O is the 15th letter.
  • Q is the 17th letter.

Checking the shift:

Letter 1 Position 1 Letter 2 Position 2 Difference (Pos 2 - Pos 1)
I 9 P 16 16 - 9 = 7
D 4 K 11 11 - 4 = 7
H 8 O 15 15 - 8 = 7
J 10 Q 17 17 - 10 = 7

The +7 shift pattern holds true for the second pair as well.

Applying the Logic to LGKM

Now, we apply the same "+7 shift" logic to find the related group for LGKM.

First, find the positions of the letters in LGKM:

  • L is the 12th letter.
  • G is the 7th letter.
  • K is the 11th letter.
  • M is the 13th letter.

Apply the +7 shift to each position:

  • 1st letter: L (12) + 7 = 19th letter, which is S.
  • 2nd letter: G (7) + 7 = 14th letter, which is N.
  • 3rd letter: K (11) + 7 = 18th letter, which is R.
  • 4th letter: M (13) + 7 = 20th letter, which is T.

Combining these letters, we get SNRT.

Conclusion

Following the "+7 shift" logic derived from the given examples, LGKM is related to SNRT.

Comparing this result with the options provided, option 2 (SNRT) is the correct match.
