Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., OQVER.
Logic: Reverse the word. Add +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 to each letter’s position. Convert back to letters.
NEVER: SGYIS
Reverse the word: REVEN: SGYIS
R (18) + 1 ⇔ S (19)
E (5) + 2⇔ G (7)
V (22) +3 ⇔ Y (25)
E (5) +4 ⇔ I (9)
N (14) +5 ⇔ S (19)
Similarly, MASON: OQVER
MASON → reversed: NOSAM
N (14) + 1 = 15 → O
O (15) + 2 = 17 → Q
S (19) + 3 = 22 → V
A (1) + 4 = 5 → E
M (13) + 5 = 18 → R
