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.
UNREAL : MCHVSA :: CREATE : FVDIWI :: AROUND : ?
Correct Answer :
EPXSWG
Solution :
The correct option is EPXSWG.
To find the logic behind the relationship, let us analyze how the first letter-cluster transforms into the second letter-cluster: UNREAL : MCHVSA.
First, we write the letters of the word UNREAL in reverse order:
L - A - E - R - N - U
Next, we add consecutive integers (+1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6) to the positional values (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26) of these reversed letters:
This gives the cluster MCHVSA.
Let us verify this logic with the second pair: CREATE : FVDIWI.
Reversing the word CREATE gives:
E - T - A - E - R - C
Applying the addition pattern to their alphabetical positions:
This gives the cluster FVDIWI.
Now, applying the same pattern to the word AROUND:
Reversing the word AROUND gives:
D - N - U - O - R - A
Applying the addition pattern:
This results in the letter-cluster EPXSWG.
