Let's analyze the given relationship between the terms step by step.

Given:

· TRAINER : VTCIQHU

· RADIANT : TCFIDQW

· CUSHION : ?

We will first determine the pattern between TRAINER and VTCIQHU, then apply the same logic to RADIANT and TCFIDQW, and finally apply that pattern to CUSHION.

Step 1: Analyze the relationship between TRAINER and VTCIQHU

Compare each letter of TRAINER to VTCIQHU:

· T → V: T is moved forward by 2 positions (T + 2 = V).

· R → T: R is moved forward by 2 positions (R + 2 = T).

· A → C: A is moved forward by 2 positions (A + 2 = C).

· I → I: I remains the same.

· N → Q: N is moved forward by 3 positions (N + 3 = Q).

· E → H: E is moved forward by 3 positions (E + 3 = H).

· R → U: R is moved forward by 3 positions (R + 3 = U).

So, the pattern involves adding 2 to the first three letters, and 3 to the last three letters.

Step 2: Apply the same pattern to RADIANT and TCFIDQW

Now, let's check how the pattern applies to RADIANT:

· R → T: R is moved forward by 2 positions.

· A → C: A is moved forward by 2 positions.

· D → F: D is moved forward by 2 positions.

· I → I: I remains the same.

· A → D: A is moved forward by 3 positions.

· N → Q: N is moved forward by 3 positions.

· T → W: T is moved forward by 3 positions.

Step 3: Apply the pattern to CUSHION

Now, apply the same pattern to CUSHION:

· C → E: C is moved forward by 2 positions.

· U → W: U is moved forward by 2 positions.

· S → U: S is moved forward by 2 positions.

· H → H: H remains the same.

· I → L: I is moved forward by 3 positions.

· O → R: O is moved forward by 3 positions.

· N → Q: N is moved forward by 3 positions.

The resulting word is EWUHLRQ.

Option (a) is the correct answer.
