In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. FORK : ILUH :: LAPE : ?
OXSB
Coding Pattern Recognition: FORK to ILUH
The question presents a letter analogy: FORK is related to ILUH in a specific way, and we need to find the word related to LAPE similarly.
First, let's determine the pattern between FORK and ILUH by looking at the positional shift of each letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
- F (6) changes to I (9): Shift = 9 - 6 = +3
- O (15) changes to L (12): Shift = 12 - 15 = -3
- R (18) changes to U (21): Shift = 21 - 18 = +3
- K (11) changes to H (8): Shift = 8 - 11 = -3
The pattern is a sequential application of +3 and -3 shifts.
Applying Pattern to LAPE
Now, we apply the same pattern (+3, -3, +3, -3) to the letters in LAPE:
- L (12) + 3 = 15, which corresponds to the letter O.
- A (1) - 3 = -2. Wrapping around the alphabet (26 - 2 = 24), this corresponds to the letter X.
- P (16) + 3 = 19, which corresponds to the letter S.
- E (5) - 3 = 2, which corresponds to the letter B.
Therefore, LAPE corresponds to OXSB.
Final Answer Selection
Comparing this result with the given options, Option 3 (OXSB) matches our derived word.
