Select the option that is related to third letter

Solution

The pattern followed here is as follows: Consonants are replaced by their 3rd succeeding letters in the alphabetical series. And Vowels are replaced by their next vowel in the English alphabetical series (A→E, E→I, I→O, O→U, U→A). For GARDEN: G (Consonant) + 3 = J A (Vowel) → Next Vowel = E R (Consonant) + 3 = U D (Consonant) + 3 = G E (Vowel) → Next Vowel = I N (Consonant) + 3 = Q GARDEN is coded as JEUGIQ Similarly, for PLANET: P (Consonant) + 3 = S L (Consonant) + 3 = O A (Vowel) → Next Vowel = E N (Consonant) + 3 = Q E (Vowel) → Next Vowel = I T (Consonant) + 3 = W So, 'PLANET' is written as 'SOEQIW'.
