If PRIMATE is coded as MOFJXQB, then how will COW be coded as?

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

ZLT

Each letter of PRIMATE is shifted 3 positions backward (with wrap-around) to form MOFJXQB: P→M, R→O, I→F, M→J, A→X (wraps via Z, Y, X), T→Q, E→B.

Applying the same shift to COW: C→Z (wrap), O→L, W→T. Hence COW is coded as ZLT.
