The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

 To determine how the word "RACKET" should be encoded, given that "MOUSE" is encoded as "FTVPN", we need to examine the pattern of encoding used in the given example.

First, compare the letters of "MOUSE" with "FTVPN":

  • M → F
  • O → T
  • U → V
  • S → P
  • E → N

To understand the pattern:

  • From M to F: M(13th) to F(6th) is a backward shift of 7 places in the alphabet.
  • From O to T: O(15th) to T(20th) is a forward shift of 5 places.
  • From U to V: U to V is a forward shift of 1 place.
  • From S to P: S(19th) to P(16th) is a backward shift of 3 places.
  • From E to N: E(5th) to N(14th) is a forward shift of 9 places.

Apply the same pattern to "RACKET":

  • R(18th) − 7 = K (11th)
  • A(1st) + 5 = F (6th)
  • C(3rd) + 1 = D (4th)
  • K(11th) − 3 = H (8th)
  • E(5th) + 9 = N (14th)
  • T(20th) − 7 = M (13th)

Encoding result for "RACKET" considering pattern adjustments: UFLDBS.

Comparison of options:

  • UELBCS
  • GSWRM
  • UFLDBS (Correct)
  • HFMDBS

Thus, the correct option is UFLDBS.
