Alphabetical Order Reasoning
The question asks us to identify the relationship between letter pairs based on their alphabetical positions and apply it to a new pair.
Decoding the Pattern: HEVO to WTKD
Let's assign numerical positions to the letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and find the pattern:
- H is the 8th letter. W is the 23rd letter. The difference is \(23 - 8 = 15\).
- E is the 5th letter. T is the 20th letter. The difference is \(20 - 5 = 15\).
- V is the 22nd letter. K is the 11th letter. The difference is \(11 - 22 = -11\). This is equivalent to adding 15 when wrapping around the alphabet (\(22 + 15 = 37\); \(37 - 26 = 11\)).
- O is the 15th letter. D is the 4th letter. The difference is \(4 - 15 = -11\). This is equivalent to adding 15 when wrapping around (\(15 + 15 = 30\); \(30 - 26 = 4\)).
The consistent pattern is adding 15 to the alphabetical position of each letter.
Verifying the Pattern: PMDW to EBSL
We apply the '+15' logic to the second pair:
- P (16) + 15 = 31. \(31 \pmod{26} = 5\), which corresponds to E.
- M (13) + 15 = 28. \(28 \pmod{26} = 2\), which corresponds to B.
- D (4) + 15 = 19, which corresponds to S.
- W (23) + 15 = 38. \(38 \pmod{26} = 12\), which corresponds to L.
The pattern holds true for PMDW to EBSL.
Applying the Pattern to IFWP
Now, we apply the '+15' rule to IFWP:
- I (9) + 15 = 24. The 24th letter is X.
- F (6) + 15 = 21. The 21st letter is U.
- W (23) + 15 = 38. \(38 \pmod{26} = 12\). The 12th letter is L.
- P (16) + 15 = 31. \(31 \pmod{26} = 5\). The 5th letter is E.
Following this logic, IFWP relates to XULE.
