Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To solve this, we analyze the pattern between 'TREND' and 'QUBQA'. T (20) - 3 = Q (17), R (18) + 3 = U (21), E (5) - 3 = B (2), N (14) + 3 = Q (17), D (4) - 3 = A (1). The pattern is alternating -3, +3. Applying this to 'STRAY': S (19) - 3 = P (16), T (20) + 3 = W (23), R (18) - 3 = O (15), A (1) + 3 = D (4), Y (25) - 3 = V (22). The coded word is PWODV.
