Solution

The letters of the word PURCHASE when arranged in alphabetical order becomes ' ACEHPRSU'

Each vowel is changed to next alphabet, and each consonant is changed to previous alphabet, then :

A (+1) = B

C (-1) = B

E (+1) = F

H (-1) = G

P (-1) = O

R (-1) = Q

S (-1) = R

U (+1) = V

=> BBFGOQRV

Third alphabet from right end = Q.
