Identify the pattern and find the missing cluster. The fifth cluster follows the same rule as: second is to first, and fourth is to third. CRW : TIN :: DOZ : UFQ :: ALW : ?
- RCN
- RCM
- JCN
- JCM
Correct answer: RCN
Solution
The coding rule is: each letter X maps to the letter Y such that position(X) + position(Y) = 22 (mod 26 if needed). Verify: C(3)+T? No. Let me use the actual verified rule from GHOST: G(7)+O(15)=22, H(8)+N(14)=22, O(15)+G(7)=22, S(19)+C(3)=22, T(20)+B(2)=22. Applying to ALW: A(1)->21=U? But CRW->TIN: C(3)+T(20)=23, R(18)+I(9)=27... the sum is not constant across pairs. Re-examining: CRW->TIN uses +17,-9,-9 per letter. DOZ->UFQ: D(4)+17=21=U, O(15)-9=6=F, Z(26)-9=17=Q. ALW: A(1)+17=18=R, L(12)-9=3=C, W(23)-9=14=N. Answer: RCN.
