WPKD is related to TNHB in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, KHYV is related to HFVT. To which of the given options is BBPP related, following the same logic?
Decoding the Alphabetical Pattern
This question asks us to find the relationship between pairs of letter groups and apply that same logic to find the missing pair.
Analyzing the First Pair: WPKD to TNHB
Let's look at the positions of the letters in the English alphabet:
- W is the 23rd letter. T is the 20th letter. The difference is $23 - 20 = 3$.
- P is the 16th letter. N is the 14th letter. The difference is $16 - 14 = 2$.
- K is the 11th letter. H is the 8th letter. The difference is $11 - 8 = 3$.
- D is the 4th letter. B is the 2nd letter. The difference is $4 - 2 = 2$.
The pattern observed is: Subtract 3 from the first letter's position, subtract 2 from the second, subtract 3 from the third, and subtract 2 from the fourth.
Validating with the Second Pair: KHYV to HFVT
Let's check if the same pattern applies:
- K is the 11th letter. H is the 8th letter. $11 - 3 = 8$. (Matches)
- H is the 8th letter. F is the 6th letter. $8 - 2 = 6$. (Matches)
- Y is the 25th letter. V is the 22nd letter. $25 - 3 = 22$. (Matches)
- V is the 22nd letter. T is the 20th letter. $22 - 2 = 20$. (Matches)
The pattern of (-3, -2, -3, -2) is confirmed.
Applying the Pattern to BBPP
Now, we apply the same (-3, -2, -3, -2) pattern to the letters BBPP:
- First letter B: The position of B is 2. We need to calculate $2 - 3$. Since we are moving backward, we wrap around the alphabet. The letter before A (1) is Z (26). So, $2 - 3$ results in the 25th letter, which is Y. ($2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 26 \rightarrow 25$)
- Second letter B: The position of B is 2. We need to calculate $2 - 2$. This results in the 0th position, which wraps around to the 26th letter, Z. ($2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 0 \equiv 26$)
- Third letter P: The position of P is 16. We need to calculate $16 - 3$. This gives us the 13th letter, which is M. ($16 - 3 = 13$)
- Fourth letter P: The position of P is 16. We need to calculate $16 - 2$. This gives us the 14th letter, which is N. ($16 - 2 = 14$)
Combining these results, we get YZMN.
Summary Table
| Original Letter | Position | Operation | Resulting Position | Resulting Letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | 2 | $-3$ (wrap around) | 25 | Y |
| B | 2 | $-2$ (wrap around) | 26 | Z |
| P | 16 | $-3$ | 13 | M |
| P | 16 | $-2$ | 14 | N |
Therefore, BBPP is related to YZMN following the established alphabetical logic.
