UFNE is related to YCRB in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, CZVY is related to GWZV. To which of the given options is KTDS related, following the same logic?

The correct answer is

OQHP

Understanding the Alphabetical Pattern

The question asks us to identify a logical relationship between groups of letters based on the English alphabet and apply it to a new set of letters. We are given two examples to figure out the pattern:

  • UFNE relates to YCRB
  • CZVY relates to GWZV

We need to find what KTDS relates to, using the same logic.

Analysing the First Example: UFNE → YCRB

Let's look at the position of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26):

  • U is the 21st letter. Y is the 25th letter. The difference is $25 - 21 = +4$.
  • F is the 6th letter. C is the 3rd letter. The difference is $3 - 6 = -3$.
  • N is the 14th letter. R is the 18th letter. The difference is $18 - 14 = +4$.
  • E is the 5th letter. B is the 2nd letter. The difference is $2 - 5 = -3$.

The pattern observed here is: Add 4, Subtract 3, Add 4, Subtract 3.

Verifying the Pattern with the Second Example: CZVY → GWZV

Let's check if this pattern holds true for the second pair:

  • C (3rd letter) + 4 = 7th letter, which is G.
  • Z (26th letter) - 3 = 23rd letter, which is W.
  • V (22nd letter) + 4 = 26th letter, which is Z.
  • Y (25th letter) - 3 = 22nd letter, which is V.

The pattern (+4, -3, +4, -3) is consistent across both examples.

Applying the Pattern to KTDS

Now, we apply the same '+4, -3, +4, -3' pattern to the letters in KTDS:

  • K is the 11th letter. Applying the first step: $11 + 4 = 15$. The 15th letter is O.
  • T is the 20th letter. Applying the second step: $20 - 3 = 17$. The 17th letter is Q.
  • D is the 4th letter. Applying the third step: $4 + 4 = 8$. The 8th letter is H.
  • S is the 19th letter. Applying the fourth step: $19 - 3 = 16$. The 16th letter is P.

Combining these resulting letters, we get OQHP.

Conclusion

Following the established alphabetical logic of adding 4 and subtracting 3 alternately, KTDS corresponds to OQHP.
