Understanding the Alphabetical Pattern

The question presents a word pair relationship: BED is related to EGE. We need to figure out the specific alphabetical pattern connecting these two words. Once we understand this logic, we apply the same pattern to the word LEG to find its corresponding word.

Analysing the First Pair: BED to EGE

Let's break down the transformation letter by letter:

• First Letter: B transforms into E. Moving forward in the alphabet, B is followed by C, D, E. This is a shift of +3 positions (B + 3 = E).
• Second Letter: E transforms into G. Moving forward, E is followed by F, G. This is a shift of +2 positions (E + 2 = G).
• Third Letter: D transforms into E. Moving forward, D is followed by E. This is a shift of +1 position (D + 1 = E).

So, the pattern applied is: add 3 to the first letter's position, add 2 to the second letter's position, and add 1 to the third letter's position.

Applying the Pattern to LEG

Now, we apply the identified pattern (+3, +2, +1) to the word LEG:

• First Letter (L): Applying a +3 shift: L + 3 positions = M, N, O. The result is O.
• Second Letter (E): Applying a +2 shift: E + 2 positions = F, G. The result is G.
• Third Letter (G): Applying a +1 shift: G + 1 position = H. The result is H.

Combining these results, the word LEG transforms into OGH.

Conclusion

By identifying the +3, +2, +1 alphabetical shift pattern in the first pair (BED : EGE) and applying it consistently to the third word (LEG), we arrive at the corresponding word OGH. This matches one of the provided options.
