Alphabet Halves Logic

The alphabet can be divided into two halves: the first half (A to M) and the second half (N to Z).

The relationship observed between the letter pairs follows different rules depending on which half the letters belong to.

Analyzing KIM : NRP

Letters in KIM belong to the first half of the alphabet (K=11, I=9, M=13).

The transformation to NRP follows this pattern:

• First letter: K (11) + 3 = 14, which corresponds to N.
• Second letter: I (9) + 9 = 18, which corresponds to R.
• Third letter: M (13) + 3 = 16, which corresponds to P.

The pattern applied is (+3, +9, +3). This pattern maps letters from the first half (A-M) to the second half (N-Z).

Analyzing TOR : ?

Letters in TOR belong to the second half of the alphabet (T=20, O=15, R=18).

The transformation for these letters follows a different pattern, mapping them to the first half:

• First letter: T (20) - 11 = 9, which corresponds to I.
• Second letter: O (15) - 3 = 12, which corresponds to L.
• Third letter: R (18) - 11 = 7, which corresponds to G.

The pattern applied is (-11, -3, -11). This pattern maps letters from the second half (N-Z) to the first half (A-M).

Conclusion

Applying the second pattern (-11, -3, -11) to TOR yields ILG.

Therefore, TOR : ILG follows the same underlying principle as KIM : NRP, based on the division of the alphabet and the corresponding transformation rules.

The correct option is ILG.
