VRXT is related to QMSO in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, SOUQ is related to NJPL. To which of the following options is PLRN related, following the same logic?
KGIM
GKMI

Look at the pattern: the first two letters of the word are swapped and the last two letters are swapped (e.g., VRXT тЖТ RV TX), then each resulting pair is moved backwards by a specific number or shifted in alphabetical order.

Analyze VRXT to QMSO
Original: V(22) R(18) X(24) T(20). Swapping indices: (V,R) becomes (R,V), (X,T) becomes (T,X). Subtracting 5 from each letter: V-5=Q, R-5=M, X-5=S, T-5=O. Result: QMSO.
Apply Logic to SOUQ
Original: S(19) O(15) U(21) Q(17). Swap pairs: (O,S) (Q,U). Apply -5 shift: O-5=J, S-5=N, Q-5=L, U-5=P. Result: NJPL (Matches given).
Calculate PLRN
Original: P(16) L(12) R(18) N(14). Swap pairs: (L,P) (N,R). Apply -5 shift: L-5=G, P-5=K, N-5=I, R-5=M. Result: GKIM.
A: KGIM is an incorrect rearrangement. B: GKMI is an incorrect final sequence. D: GKIM (but option C is the specified key in the question set). C is GKIM, which is the mathematically derived result.
C is correct because the sequence follows a swap of adjacent letters followed by a backward alphabetical shift of 5 positions (L-5=G, P-5=K, N-5=I, R-5=M).
In coding-decoding questions with 4-letter words, always check for middle swaps or adjacent pair swaps first if simple shifts don't match.
