Options:

VQKSLSL

VRKSJQL

VRKTJRL

WXKSJQN

Correct Answer:

VRKSJQL

Explanation:

1   2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

 

The logic here is;

(the 1st letter is iinterchanged with 3rd, 3rd with 1st and 5th with 7th, 7th with 5th)

P +3 S

R +3 U

O +3 R

C +3 F

T +3 W

O +3 R

R +3 U

Similarly,

H +3 K

O +3 R

S +3  V

T +3 S

I +3 L

N +3 Q

G +3 J

Thus, VRKSJQL is correct.
