Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.

NEEDLE : MFDEKF :: BUCKET : ?

AVBLDU

Pattern followed here is :

NEEDLE : MFDEKF

N(14) - 1 = (13)M , E(5) + 1 = (6)F , E(5) - 1 = (4)D , D(4)+1=(5)E , L(12)-1=(11)K , E(5)+1=(6)F

Similarly ,

BUCKET : ?

B(2) - 1 = (1)A , U(21) + 1 = (22)V , C(3) - 1 = (2)B , K(11) + 1 = (12)L , E(5) - 1 = (4)D , T(20) + 1= (21)U

Hence, AVBLDU is correct answer .
