Identify the missing cluster following the same pattern. ROSE : IVQS :: SUIT : XLWT :: TIME : ?
- IPKU
- IPKV
- JPKU
- JPKV
Correct answer: IPKU
Solution
Rule: reverse the 4-letter word, then shift letters at positions 1, 2, 3, 4 forward by +2, +4, +6, +8 respectively. ROSE reversed = ESOR: E+2=G... wait verification: E(5)+2=G(7) but output starts with I. Let me re-verify: ROSE reversed = ESOR; E(5)+4=I(9)✓, S(19)+3=V(22)✓, O(15)+2=Q(17)✓, R(18)+1=S(19)✓. So shifts are +4,+3,+2,+1. TIME reversed = EMIT: E(5)+4=I(9)✓, M(13)+3=P(16)✓, I(9)+2=K(11)✓, T(20)+1=U(21)✓. Answer: IPKU.
