KK 8 is related to NH -5 in a certain way. In the same way, VO 3 is related to YL -10. To which of the given options is RT 12 related, following the same logic?
UR -1
UQ -1
VQ -1
VQ -3
UQ -1
Quick Trick: Analyze letters and numbers separately. Letters shift by a fixed pattern (K->N is +3, K->H is -3; V->Y is +3, O->L is -3), while numbers are treated as a constant subtractive sequence.

Analyze Letter Transformation
For every term, the first letter shifts forward by 3 (A=1, B=2...) and the second letter shifts backward by 3. Example: K(11)+3=N(14), K(11)-3=H(8). Similarly: V(22)+3=Y(25), O(15)-3=L(12).
Analyze Number Transformation
Observe the numerical change: 8 to -5 is a difference of -13. 3 to -10 is a difference of -13. The pattern is subtract 13 from the given number.
Apply Logic to RT 12
First letter: R(18)+3 = U(21). Second letter: T(20)-3 = Q(17). Number: 12-13 = -1. Combining these results in UQ -1.
A: UR -1 is incorrect because the second letter T - 3 = Q, not R. C: VQ -1 is incorrect because the first letter R + 3 = U, not V. D: VQ -3 is incorrect because both letter and number transformations do not match the identified pattern.
B is correct because the letter transformation (+3, -3) and the number subtraction (-13) correctly derive UQ -1 from RT 12.
Always separate numbers and letters in alphanumeric coding. Often, the number follows a simple arithmetic sequence (AP) or a fixed difference, while letters follow cyclic or position-based shifts.
