For the clock shown in the figure, if \(O^* = O\ Q\ S\ Z\ P\ R\ T\) and \(X^* = X\ Z\ P\ W\ Y\ O\ Q\), then which one among the given options is most appropriate for \(P^*\)?

P U W R T V X
P R T Q L S U
P T V Q S U W
P S U P R T V

Correct answer: P T V Q S U W

Solution

The given examples show a fixed positional transformation from a symbol to a 7-letter sequence. Applying the same mapping pattern to \(P\) yields the sequence \(P\ T\ V\ Q\ S\ U\ W\).
