Correct Answer: UGRFN
Solution :
Given:
GHOST is written as VVSMM, and EATER is written as THXFK.
Add the consecutive natural numbers, in decreasing order (starting from 6) to the place value of the letters of the given words, and then reverse the order of the letters to get the required code.
GHOST→G + 6 = M; H + 5 = M; O + 4 = S; S + 3 = V; T + 2 = V→MMSVV
Now, reverse the order of the letters MMSVV→VVSMM
So, GHOST is written as VVSMM.
EATER→E + 6 = K; A + 5 = F; T + 4 = X; E + 3 = H; R + 2 = T→KFXHT
Now, reverse the order of the letters KFXHT→THXFK
So, EATER is written as THXFK.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HANDS→H + 6 = N; A + 5 = F; N + 4 = R; D + 3 = G; S + 2 = U→NFRGU
Now, reverse the order of the letters NFRGU→UGRFN
So, HANDS is written as UGRFN. Hence, the first option is correct.
