Find the letter-cluster that completes the pattern, given the same relationship holds across all three pairs. PARROT : RCTTQV :: SINGLE : UKPINC :: MENTOR : ?
- HKWIPB
- IPKBWH
- HWBKPI
- HWKBPI
Correct answer: HWKBPI
Solution
The pattern is: each letter is shifted forward by +2 in the alphabet. For FUZING: F+2=H, U+2=W, Z+2=B, I+2=K, N+2=P, G+2=I. Result: HWBKPI. Verification: JUMPED -> J+2=L, U+2=W, M+2=O, P+2=R, E+2=G, D+2=F = LWORGF. QUICKS -> Q+2=S, U+2=W, I+2=K, C+2=E, K+2=M, S+2=U = SWKEMU. Both confirm +2 shift.
