Understanding the Alphabetical Pattern
This question tests our ability to identify a pattern based on the sequence of letters in the English alphabet. We are given two examples demonstrating a specific relationship between pairs of letter groups and need to apply this same logic to find the correct pair for HKIJ.
Analyzing the First Example: FIGH relates to KNLM
Let's examine the relationship between FIGH and KNLM by looking at the position of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26).
- F is the 6th letter. K is the 11th letter.
- I is the 9th letter. N is the 14th letter.
- G is the 7th letter. L is the 12th letter.
- H is the 8th letter. M is the 13th letter.
If we calculate the difference in positions:
- K (11) - F (6) = 5
- N (14) - I (9) = 5
- L (12) - G (7) = 5
- M (13) - H (8) = 5
We observe a consistent pattern: each letter in the first group (FIGH) is shifted forward by 5 places in the alphabet to get the corresponding letter in the second group (KNLM).
Verifying the Pattern with the Second Example: RUST relates to WZXY
Let's apply the same logic (adding 5 to the alphabetical position) to the second pair, RUST and WZXY, to confirm the pattern.
- R is the 18th letter. \(18 + 5 = 23\). The 23rd letter is W.
- U is the 21st letter. \(21 + 5 = 26\). The 26th letter is Z.
- S is the 19th letter. \(19 + 5 = 24\). The 24th letter is X.
- T is the 20th letter. \(20 + 5 = 25\). The 25th letter is Y.
The pattern holds true for the second example as well. The rule is consistently adding 5 to the position of each letter.
Applying the Logic to Find the Relation for HKIJ
Now, we need to apply this "+5" rule to the given word HKIJ.
- H is the 8th letter. Adding 5 gives \(8 + 5 = 13\). The 13th letter is M.
- K is the 11th letter. Adding 5 gives \(11 + 5 = 16\). The 16th letter is P.
- I is the 9th letter. Adding 5 gives \(9 + 5 = 14\). The 14th letter is N.
- J is the 10th letter. Adding 5 gives \(10 + 5 = 15\). The 15th letter is O.
Combining the resulting letters, we get MPNO.
Conclusion
Based on the consistent "+5" alphabetical shift pattern observed in the examples, HKIJ corresponds to MPNO.
