D

FPWFTNSM

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

FPWESMSM

Solution :

The correct option is FPWESMSM.

Let's analyze the pattern by comparing the letters of the word MERCURY with its code NGUGZXF. We do this by looking at the positions of the letters in the English alphabet:
M → N (Moved +1 position)
E → G (Moved +2 positions)
R → U (Moved +3 positions)
C → G (Moved +4 positions)
U → Z (Moved +5 positions)
R → X (Moved +6 positions)
Y → F (Moved +7 positions: Y(+1)→Z, Z(+1)→A, A(+1)→B, B(+1)→C, C(+1)→D, D(+1)→E, E(+1)→F)
Thus, the letters are shifted progressively by +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, and +7 positions.

Applying the same logic to the word ENTANGLE:
E + 1 = F
N + 2 = P
T + 3 = W
A + 4 = E
N + 5 = S
G + 6 = M
L + 7 = S
E + 8 = M

Putting the coded letters together, we get FPWESMSM.
