Correct answer: B
Explanation:
G - 7 --(-5)--> 2 - B
R - 18 --(-5)--> 13 - M
A - 1 --(-5)--> 22 - V
S - 19 --(-5)--> 14 - N
P - 16 --(-5)--> 11 - K
The logic behind this coding is simply subtracting 5 from the numerical values of each alphabets from GRASP.
Now, if a word has to be coded as ‘ADZIY’ then 5 has to be added to the numerical values of ADZIY so as to decode and find the word.
F - 6 <--(+5)-- 1 - A
I - 9 <--(+5)-- 4 - D
E - 5 <--(+5)-- 26 - Z
N - 22 <--(+5)-- 9 - I
D - 4 <--(+5)-- 25 - Y
So the answer is FIEND.
