Question

In the following question, the second word is related to the first word by a specific pattern of letter transformation. Identify the same pattern and apply it to the third word to find the correct option that completes the analogy.

TIME : VJOG :: WORD : ?

1. A. YPTF (Correct answer)
2. B. YQTG
3. C. YPSF
4. D. ZPSF

Correct Answer

Option A — YPTF

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is YPTF.

Key Points

• Decode the per-letter shift from TIME → VJOG: T+2 = V, I+1 = J, M+2 = O, E+2 = G, i.e. the pattern +2, +1, +2, +2.
• Apply it to WORD: W+2 = Y, O+1 = P, R+2 = T, D+2 = F → YPTF.
• When the shift is a fixed sequence (not one constant), extract the whole pattern from the solved pair first, then apply position by position.
