EYN : FAQ
GWA : HYD
Solution Analysis: Letter Pattern Identification
This question requires identifying a pattern in letter sequences and applying it to find the correct pair among the options. The provided examples are EYN : FAQGWA and HYD. The options are pairs of three-letter words.
Identifying the Core Pattern
Upon analyzing the options and the confirmed correct answer (Option A: JUF : KWI), a consistent pattern emerges:
- The first letter of the first word shifts forward by 1 position to become the first letter of the second word.
- The second letter of the first word shifts forward by 2 positions to become the second letter of the second word.
- The third letter of the first word shifts forward by 3 positions to become the third letter of the second word.
This pattern can be represented as: $(Letter1 + 1), (Letter2 + 2), (Letter3 + 3)$.
Applying the Pattern to Option A
Let's verify this pattern using the pair JUF : KWI:
- First Letter: J (10th position) $+ 1 = 11$th position, which is K.
- Second Letter: U (21st position) $+ 2 = 23$rd position, which is W.
- Third Letter: F (6th position) $+ 3 = 9$th position, which is I.
The transformation results in KWI, confirming that the pair JUF : KWI follows the pattern.
Checking Other Options (Briefly)
Other options do not consistently follow this $+1, +2, +3$ rule:
- Option 2 (SBL : TEM): S+1=T (correct), but B+2=D (not E).
- Option 3 (TQH : WSI): T+1=U (not W).
- Option 4 (OCR : PDS): O+1=P (correct), but C+2=E (not D).
Conclusion
The pair JUF : KWI is the only one that correctly applies the identified letter shift pattern of $+1, +2, +3$.
