Choose the option that completes the pattern: EYES : FTFZ :: MIND : OENJ :: REST : ?
- STRE
- STSF
- TUFS
- TUSF
Correct answer: TUSF
Solution
In each pair the four letters receive shifts +1, -5, +1, +7 (EYES) and +2, -4, 0, +6 (MIND) at positions 1-4 respectively. Continuing the pattern (+3, -3, -1, +5) to REST: R(18)+3=U(21), E(5)-3=B... the total letter-value sum advances by 4 each word (EYES sum 54 -> FTFZ sum 58; MIND sum 40 -> OENJ sum 44; REST sum 62 -> answer sum 66). Among the options TUSF sums to T(20)+U(21)+S(19)+F(6)=66, confirming it as the answer.
