‘WISK’ is related to ‘DRHP’ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ‘LENT’ is related to ‘OVMG’. To which of the following is ‘BANG’ related, following the same logic?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the relation between 'WISK' and 'DRHP'.
- W(23) → D(4): 23 to 4 means moving backward by 19 letters (or forward by 7 letters modulo 26).
- I(9) → R(18): 9 to 18 means forward by 9 letters.
- S(19) → H(8): 19 to 8 means backward by 11 letters (or forward by 15 letters modulo 26).
- K(11) → P(16): 11 to 16 means forward by 5 letters.

Step 2: Check the relation between 'LENT' and 'OVMG'.
- L(12) → O(15): forward by 3
- E(5) → V(22): forward by 17
- N(14) → M(13): backward by 1
- T(20) → G(7): backward by 13

Step 3: The pattern is not consistent in simple addition or subtraction but seems to be a fixed mapping for each position.

Step 4: Let's check the difference between letters in 'WISK' and 'DRHP' by position:
Position 1: W(23) to D(4) → -19 or +7
Position 2: I(9) to R(18) → +9
Position 3: S(19) to H(8) → -11 or +15
Position 4: K(11) to P(16) → +5

Step 5: Check the same for 'LENT' to 'OVMG':
Position 1: L(12) to O(15) → +3
Position 2: E(5) to V(22) → +17
Position 3: N(14) to M(13) → -1
Position 4: T(20) to G(7) → -13

Step 6: The pattern seems to be adding a certain number to each letter's position:
For 'WISK' to 'DRHP': +7, +9, +15, +5 (mod 26)
For 'LENT' to 'OVMG': +3, +17, -1, -13 (mod 26)

Step 7: Since the pattern is not consistent, let's check the reverse alphabetical order mapping:
W(23) → D(4) → 27 - 23 = 4
I(9) → R(18) → 27 - 9 = 18
S(19) → H(8) → 27 - 19 = 8
K(11) → P(16) → 27 - 11 = 16

Similarly for 'LENT' to 'OVMG':
L(12) → O(15) (not 27-12=15)
E(5) → V(22) (27-5=22)
N(14) → M(13) (not 27-14=13)
T(20) → G(7) (27-20=7)

Step 8: So the relation is: For letters at positions 2 and 4, the code letter is the reverse alphabetical letter (27 - original letter position). For positions 1 and 3, the code letter is original letter position + 3.

Check for 'LENT':
L(12) + 3 = 15 → O
E(5) → 27 - 5 = 22 → V
N(14) + 3 = 17 → Q (but code letter is M(13), so this contradicts)
T(20) → 27 - 20 = 7 → G

Step 9: Since the above is inconsistent, let's check the pattern for 'BANG' using the reverse alphabetical order for all letters:
B(2) → 27 - 2 = 25 → Y
A(1) → 27 - 1 = 26 → Z
N(14) → 27 - 14 = 13 → M
G(7) → 27 - 7 = 20 → T

So 'BANG' would map to 'YZMT' if reverse alphabetical order is applied to all letters.

Step 10: Check options for closest match:
Options are ZYLU, ZYNS, YZNU.

Step 11: Let's try reverse alphabetical order but in the order of letters reversed:
B(2) → Y(25)
A(1) → Z(26)
N(14) → M(13)
G(7) → T(20)

Reversing the code letters: T M Z Y (not matching options)

Step 12: Try mapping each letter of 'BANG' to the reverse alphabetical letter:
B → Y
A → Z
N → M
G → T
