Identify the rule linking each pair of letter clusters and apply it to the fifth cluster. ALW : NYJ :: CNY : PAL :: DEP : ?

1. QRD
2. QRC
3. SRC
4. SRD

Correct answer: QRC

Solution

In every pair, the first two letters shift +13 and the third shifts -13: A(1)+13=N(14), L(12)+13=Y(25), W(23)-13=J(10). Applying to DEP: D(4)+13=Q(17), E(5)+13=R(18), P(16)-13=C(3) = QRC.
