Correct Answer :

Option A

QAXI

Solution :

The correct option is QAXI.

Step-by-step explanation:

To decode the pattern, let's analyze the positions of letters in the English alphabet (where A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26).

Pattern in 'LAND' → 'IWKZ':

For L (12th letter):

12-3=9 (Letter I)

For A (1st letter):

1-4=23 (Letter W, counting backward)

For N (14th letter):

14-3=11 (Letter K)

For D (4th letter):

4-4=026 (Letter Z)

Pattern in 'GOLD' → 'DKIZ':

For G (7th letter):

7-3=4 (Letter D)

For O (15th letter):

15-4=11 (Letter K)

For L (12th letter):

12-3=9 (Letter I)

For D (4th letter):

4-4=026 (Letter Z)

The logic follows an alternating subtraction pattern: -3, -4, -3, -4.

Applying the same logic to 'TEAM':

For T (20th letter):

20-3=17 (Letter Q)

For E (5th letter):

5-4=1 (Letter A)

For A (1st letter):

1-3=24 (Letter X)

For M (13th letter):

13-4=9 (Letter I)

Combining all coded letters gives QAXI.
