Replace the question mark with an option that follows the same logic applied in the first pair. 

TWENTY: EWTYTN :: EIGHTY : ??

The correct answer is
GIEYTH

Logic Pattern Analysis

This question presents a word analogy problem. The task is to identify the rule for rearranging the letters of the first word ('TWENTY') to get the second word ('EWTYTN') and then apply the same rule to 'EIGHTY' to find the missing word.

TWENTY to EWTYTN Rearrangement

First, assign numerical positions to the letters in 'TWENTY':

  • T is 1st, W is 2nd, E is 3rd, N is 4th, T is 5th, Y is 6th.

Now, observe the positions of these letters in the rearranged word 'EWTYTN':

  • 'E' comes from the 3rd position of 'TWENTY'.
  • 'W' comes from the 2nd position.
  • 'T' comes from the 1st (or 5th) position.
  • 'Y' comes from the 6th position.
  • 'T' comes from the 5th (or 1st) position.
  • 'N' comes from the 4th position.

The sequence of original positions used to form 'EWTYTN' is: 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4.

EIGHTY Transformation

Apply this exact positional rearrangement sequence (3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4) to the letters of 'EIGHTY':

Original positions in 'EIGHTY':

  • E(1) I(2) G(3) H(4) T(5) Y(6)

Rearrange using the sequence 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4:

  1. 3rd letter: G
  2. 2nd letter: I
  3. 1st letter: E
  4. 6th letter: Y
  5. 5th letter: T
  6. 4th letter: H

Resulting Word

Combining the letters in this new order (G, I, E, Y, T, H) yields the word: GIEYTH.

This matches Option A.
