Understanding Alphabetical Order Logic
This question involves finding a pattern based on the positions of letters in the English alphabet. We are given two examples showing how one set of letters relates to another, and we need to apply the same logic to find the relationship for 'TOSN'.
Analyzing Example 1: QLPK is related to IDHC
Let's find the relationship between 'QLPK' and 'IDHC' by looking at the position of each letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
- Q is the 17th letter. I is the 9th letter. The difference is \(17 - 9 = 8\).
- L is the 12th letter. D is the 4th letter. The difference is \(12 - 4 = 8\).
- P is the 16th letter. H is the 8th letter. The difference is \(16 - 8 = 8\).
- K is the 11th letter. C is the 3rd letter. The difference is \(11 - 3 = 8\).
The pattern observed is that each letter in the first word corresponds to a letter 8 positions *before* it in the alphabet.
Analyzing Example 2: VQUP is related to NIMH
Let's verify this pattern with the second pair, 'VQUP' and 'NIMH'.
- V is the 22nd letter. N is the 14th letter. The difference is \(22 - 14 = 8\).
- Q is the 17th letter. I is the 9th letter. The difference is \(17 - 9 = 8\).
- U is the 21st letter. M is the 13th letter. The difference is \(21 - 13 = 8\).
- P is the 16th letter. H is the 8th letter. The difference is \(16 - 8 = 8\).
The pattern of subtracting 8 from the letter's position holds true for the second example as well.
Applying the Logic to TOSN
Now, we apply the same logic (subtracting 8 from the letter's position) to the word 'TOSN' to find its related word.
- T: The 20th letter. Subtracting 8 gives \(20 - 8 = 12\). The 12th letter is L.
- O: The 15th letter. Subtracting 8 gives \(15 - 8 = 7\). The 7th letter is G.
- S: The 19th letter. Subtracting 8 gives \(19 - 8 = 11\). The 11th letter is K.
- N: The 14th letter. Subtracting 8 gives \(14 - 8 = 6\). The 6th letter is F.
Combining these letters, we get 'LGKF'.
Conclusion
Following the established alphabetical order logic where each letter's position is reduced by 8, 'TOSN' corresponds to 'LGKF'.
