Logic : 

  • First two letters → Interchanged positions
  • Third letter→ (3) is subtracted from the position value according to English alphabetic series.
  • Last two letters → Interchanged positions

So,

  • 'BREAD' is coded as RBBDA

And,

  • 'FLOUR' is coded as LFLRU

F2 Pranali SSC 27-12-23 D72

​Similarly,

  • 'PAINT' will be coded as :

F2 Pranali SSC 27-12-23 D38

​Hence, "APFTN" is the correct answer.
