Select the option that is related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster.
OILS : UNLS :: PAIN : PKDT :: QUIK : ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. MKXU
OILS : UNLS
First, reverse the code.
OILS = SLNU = O + 4 = S, I + 3 = L, L + 2 = N, S + 2 = U
PAIN : PKDT
PAIN = TDKP = P + 4 = T, A + 3 = D, I + 2 = K, N + 2 = P
Similarly,
QUIK : ? = Q + 4 = U, U + 3 = X, I + 2 = K, K + 2 = M
QUIK = MKXU
