Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster: MSD : NHW :: OAE : LZV :: NIP : ?
- NSL
- MRK
- MQK
- NRL
Correct answer: NSL
Solution
From MSD to NHW, each letter is shifted forward by 1, 5, and 3 positions respectively. From OAE to LZV, the same type of positional shift is applied in reverse direction. Applying the corresponding pattern to NIP gives NSL.
