MICE - EMCI - MEIC
DEAR - RDAE - DREA
Letter Triad Pattern Analysis
The question asks to identify the consistent logic used to transform words in a sequence, presented as triads.
Determining the Transformation Logic
We analyze the relationship between the words in the given examples:
- MICE → EMCI → MEIC
- DEAR → RDAE → DREA
Let the positions of letters in a four-letter word be denoted by (1234).
Step 1 Analysis (Word 1 → Word 2):
- MICE (positions 1234) transforms to EMCI.
- Examining letter positions: E is the 4th letter, M is the 1st, C is the 3rd, and I is the 2nd. This corresponds to the positional rearrangement (4132).
- DEAR (1234) transforms to RDAE. R is 4th, D is 1st, A is 3rd, E is 2nd. This also follows the (4132) pattern.
Step 2 Analysis (Word 2 → Word 3):
- EMCI (positions 1234) transforms to MEIC.
- Examining letter positions: M is the 2nd letter, E is the 1st, I is the 4th, and C is the 3rd. This corresponds to the positional rearrangement (2143).
- RDAE (1234) transforms to DREA. D is 2nd, R is 1st, E is 4th, A is 3rd. This also follows the (2143) pattern.
The established logic for transformation is: (1234) → (4132) → (2143).
Evaluating the Options Using the Logic
We apply the derived rules (4132 then 2143) to each option.
Option 1: GUST - TGSU - GTUS
- First Transformation: GUST (1234) → Applying (4132) yields TGSU. (This matches).
- Second Transformation: TGSU (1234) → Applying (2143) yields GTUS. (This matches).
Result: Option 1 follows the identified logic.
Option 2: AXLE - EALX - AXEL
- First Transformation: AXLE (1234) → Applying (4132) yields EALX. (This matches).
- Second Transformation: EALX (1234) → Applying (2143) yields AEXL. (This does NOT match AXEL).
Result: Option 2 does not follow the logic.
Option 3: AGES - SAGE - GESA
- First Transformation: AGES (1234) → Applying (4132) yields SAEG. (This does NOT match SAGE).
Result: Option 3 does not follow the logic.
Option 4: NUTS - UNTS - SUTN
- First Transformation: NUTS (1234) → Applying (4132) yields SNTU. (This does NOT match UNTS).
Result: Option 4 does not follow the logic.
Final Conclusion
Only Option 1 consistently applies the two-step transformation rule (positional changes 4132 followed by 2143) derived from the examples.
