    NSVQ

  2. B.

    NSQV

  3. C.

    SNQV

  4. D.

    SNVQ

Correct answer: D

Concept

In alphabet/letter-based coding-decoding, a coded word is formed by shifting every letter of the source word by the same fixed number of positions in the English alphabet (A=1 to Z=26); the identical shift is applied, letter by letter, keeping each letter in its original position.

Step-by-step application

  1. Convert the letters of NIQL to alphabet positions: N=14, I=9, Q=17, L=12.

  2. Convert the letters of OJRM to alphabet positions: O=15, J=10, R=18, M=13.

  3. Subtract position-wise (OJRM minus NIQL): 15−14=+1, 10−9=+1, 18−17=+1, 13−12=+1 — a uniform +1 shift for every letter.

  4. Verify the same +1 shift on the second pair, PKSN→QLTO: P=16→Q=17(+1), K=11→L=12(+1), S=19→T=20(+1), N=14→O=15(+1) — the same rule holds.

  5. Apply the confirmed +1 shift to RMUP letter by letter: R=18→19=S, M=13→14=N, U=21→22=V, P=16→17=Q.

  6. Read the shifted letters in the original order to form the coded word: S, N, V, Q → SNVQ.

Cross-check

Reversing the same shift on SNVQ (subtracting 1 from each letter's position: S→R, N→M, V→U, Q→P) exactly reproduces RMUP, confirming the +1 shift is applied consistently across all four letter positions.

Applying the confirmed +1 shift to RMUP gives the word related to RMUP as SNVQ.
