MP 14 is related to LS -1 in a certain way. In the same way, NK 5 is related to MN –10. To which of the given options is SW -1 related, following the same logic?
RZ -16
Letter Transformation Logic
This problem requires identifying a pattern involving letters and numbers and applying it to a new set of items. We are given two examples to establish the pattern.
Example 1: MP relates to LS
Let's look at the alphabetical positions:
- M is the 13th letter, P is the 16th letter.
- L is the 12th letter, S is the 19th letter.
Comparing the letters:
- M (13) to L (12): The change is $12 - 13 = -1$.
- P (16) to S (19): The change is $19 - 16 = +3$.
Example 2: NK relates to MN
Let's look at the alphabetical positions:
- N is the 14th letter, K is the 11th letter.
- M is the 13th letter, N is the 14th letter.
Comparing the letters:
- N (14) to M (13): The change is $13 - 14 = -1$.
- K (11) to N (14): The change is $14 - 11 = +3$.
Identified Pattern: The first letter of the pair shifts back by 1 position, and the second letter shifts forward by 3 positions.
Applying Letter Logic to SW
We need to apply this pattern to SW.
- S is the 19th letter. Applying the rule (shift back 1): $19 - 1 = 18$. The 18th letter is R.
- W is the 23rd letter. Applying the rule (shift forward 3): $23 + 3 = 26$. The 26th letter is Z.
The transformed letters are RZ.
Number Transformation Logic
Now, let's analyze the number transformation.
- In the first example, the number changes from 14 to -1.
- In the second example, the number changes from 5 to -10.
We look for a consistent mathematical operation.
Let's test if subtracting a constant value works:
- Check for the first pair: $14 \rightarrow -1$. Does $14 - C = -1$? Yes, if $C = 15$.
- Check for the second pair: $5 \rightarrow -10$. Does $5 - C = -10$? Yes, if $C = 15$.
Identified Pattern: The number transformation involves subtracting 15 from the original number.
Applying Number Logic to SW
The initial number for the pair SW is -1.
Applying the identified pattern (subtract 15):
- $-1 - 15 = -16$.
The transformed number is -16.
Final Relation for SW -1
Combining the transformed letters (RZ) and the transformed number (-16), the resulting pair is RZ -16.
Matching Result with Options
We compare our result, RZ -16, with the provided options:
- Option 1: RZ -16 - This matches our calculated result.
- Option 2: VW -20
- Option 3: VC -13
- Option 4: TR -1
The logic correctly leads to Option 1.

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13, can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
