This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (01-Nov-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

LMRC

In letter-shift coding each letter of the word is moved a fixed number of places in the alphabet. Compare each letter of WORK with the matching letter of UMPI using alphabet positions.

Step 1 — W(23) → U(21), O(15) → M(13), R(18) → P(16), K(11) → I(9). Every letter moves two places backward (−2).

Step 2 — Apply −2 to NOTE: N(14) → L(12), O(15) → M(13), T(20) → R(18), E(5) → C(3).

Step 3 — The code is LMRC. LLRC has a wrong second letter, MPRC and NQVF use forward or mixed shifts, so they do not follow the −2 rule.

LMRC option is correct.
