Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. SZUSBN

Understanding Answer

BEAUTY is coded as ZUVBFC

First the word BEAUTY is reversed (YTUAEB) then each alphabet of reversed word is replaced by its immediate next alphabet.

Y + 1 = Z

T + 1 = U

U + 1 = V

A + 1 = B

E + 1 = F

B + 1 = C

Reversed word of MARTYR is RYTRAM .

Now replacing each alphabet by its immediate next alphabet,

R + 1 = S

Y + 1 = Z

T + 1 = U

R + 1 = S

A + 1 = B

M + 1 = N
