Understanding Alphabetical Coding Logic

The question presents a coding pattern based on the English alphabet. We need to decipher the relationship between the letter pairs and apply it to find the code for 'VOJZ'. The logic relies on the positional value of each letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).

Analyzing the First Example: GKMP to BFHK

Let's find the positional values of the letters in GKMP and BFHK:

• G is the 7th letter.
• K is the 11th letter.
• M is the 13th letter.
• P is the 16th letter.
• B is the 2nd letter.
• F is the 6th letter.
• H is the 8th letter.
• K is the 11th letter.

Comparing the positions:

• G (7) → B (2): The difference is $7 - 2 = 5$.
• K (11) → F (6): The difference is $11 - 6 = 5$.
• M (13) → H (8): The difference is $13 - 8 = 5$.
• P (16) → K (11): The difference is $16 - 11 = 5$.

The pattern observed is that each letter in the original word is shifted 5 positions backward in the alphabet to get the corresponding letter in the coded word.

Analyzing the Second Example: PJSU to KENP

Let's verify this pattern with the second pair, PJSU to KENP:

• P is the 16th letter.
• J is the 10th letter.
• S is the 19th letter.
• U is the 21st letter.
• K is the 11th letter.
• E is the 5th letter.
• N is the 14th letter.
• P is the 16th letter.

Comparing the positions:

• P (16) → K (11): The difference is $16 - 11 = 5$.
• J (10) → E (5): The difference is $10 - 5 = 5$.
• S (19) → N (14): The difference is $19 - 14 = 5$.
• U (21) → P (16): The difference is $21 - 16 = 5$.

The pattern of subtracting 5 from the positional value holds true for this pair as well.

Applying the Logic to VOJZ

Now, we apply the same logic (subtracting 5 from the positional value) to the word VOJZ:

• V is the 22nd letter.
• O is the 15th letter.
• J is the 10th letter.
• Z is the 26th letter.

Calculating the new positions:

• V (22): $22 - 5 = 17$. The 17th letter is Q.
• O (15): $15 - 5 = 10$. The 10th letter is J.
• J (10): $10 - 5 = 5$. The 5th letter is E.
• Z (26): $26 - 5 = 21$. The 21st letter is U.

Combining these letters, we get QJEU.

Conclusion

Following the established pattern of subtracting 5 from the alphabetical position of each letter, VOJZ is related to QJEU.
