This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

KRM

Check the rule on FLOTSAM → UOLGHZN: each letter maps to its alphabet-opposite (A↔Z, B↔Y, …), so position sums equal 27. E.g. F(6)+U(21)=27, L(12)+O(15)=27, A(1)+Z(26)=27.

Apply to PIN: P(16) → \(27-16=11\) = K; I(9) → \(27-9=18\) = R; N(14) → \(27-14=13\) = M.

Therefore PIN is coded as KRM.
