Understanding the Letter Pattern

The question asks us to find a pair of letter sequences that follows the same logical pattern as the two examples provided: XZA-YAB and CEF-DFG.

Let's examine the first example, XZA to YAB:

• The first letter X shifts to the next letter in the alphabet, Y.
• The second letter Z shifts to the next letter, which wraps around to A.
• The third letter A shifts to the next letter, B.

Now let's check the second example, CEF to DFG:

• The first letter C shifts to D.
• The second letter E shifts to F.
• The third letter F shifts to G.

The consistent pattern observed in both examples is that each letter in the initial sequence is replaced by the letter immediately following it in the alphabet (a +1 shift). For Z, the next letter is A.

Analyzing the Options for the Pattern

We need to test each option to see if it fits this +1 alphabet shift pattern:

• Option 1: JKK-KMN
  • J + 1 letter = K. This matches the first part (J -> K).
  • K + 1 letter = L. This does NOT match the second part (K -> M).
  • K + 1 letter = L. This does NOT match the third part (K -> N).
  Therefore, Option 1 does not follow the pattern.
• Option 2: JLM-JMM
  • J + 1 letter = K. This does NOT match the first part (J -> J).
  Therefore, Option 2 does not follow the pattern.
• Option 3: JLM-KMN
  • J + 1 letter = K. This matches the first part (J -> K).
  • L + 1 letter = M. This matches the second part (L -> M).
  • M + 1 letter = N. This matches the third part (M -> N).
  All letters follow the +1 shift pattern. This option matches.
• Option 4: JKK-JLM
  • J + 1 letter = K. This does NOT match the first part (J -> J).
  Therefore, Option 4 does not follow the pattern.

Identifying the Correct Pair

By applying the identified pattern (+1 letter shift for each position) to the options, we find that only Option 3 (JLM-KMN) correctly replicates the transformation seen in the original pairs.
