Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Coding Pattern Analysis 

Step 1: Analyze the Code for "POETRY" to "FPQZSU"

In the given code, the letters of the word “POETRY” are changed to form “FPQZSU”.

• P → F (shifted back by 10 places)
• O → P (shifted forward by 1)
• E → Q (shifted forward by 12)
• T → Z (shifted forward by 6)
• R → S (shifted forward by 1)
• Y → U (shifted forward by 4)

Step 2: Apply the Same Pattern to "MAGLEV"

Applying this pattern to “MAGLEV”:

• M → H (shifted back by 5)
• A → B (shifted forward by 1)
• G → N (shifted forward by 7)
• L → W (shifted forward by 11)
• E → F (shifted forward by 1)
• V → M (shifted back by 7)

Step 3: Conclusion

Thus, the correct coded word for “MAGLEV” is “HBNWFM”.

Final Answer:

The correct answer is (b) HBNWFM.
