Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. WSXLEQ

Understanding Application

Logic:

First each letter is forwarded by 4 and whole word is reversed.

‘DRAUGH’ is written as ‘LKYEVH’

D + 4 = H

R + 4 = V

A + 4 = E

U + 4 = Y

G + 4 = K

H + 4 = L

HVEYKL is reversed: LKYEVH

Now,

MAHTOS:

M + 4 = Q

A + 4 = E

H + 4 = L

T + 4 = X

O + 4 = S

S + 4 = W

QELXSW is reversed: WSXLEQ.
