Correct answer: B
To solve this coding puzzle, let's analyze the relationship between the letters in the word "TELEPHONE" and its code "FOPIQFMFU".
Step-by-Step Analysis
Observe the pattern:
T E L E P H O N E
F O P I Q F M F U
Let's reverse the word "TELEPHONE" to get E N O H P E L E T.
Now compare:
E (+1) = F
N (+1) = O
O (+1) = P
H (+1) = I
P (+1) = Q
E (+1) = F
L (+1) = M
E (+1) = F
T (+1) = U
The pattern is to reverse the word and then shift each letter forward by one (+1).
Apply to "MYSORE":
Reverse "MYSORE" to get E R O S Y M.
Apply the +1 shift to each letter:
E (+1) = F
R (+1) = S
O (+1) = P
S (+1) = T
Y (+1) = Z
M (+1) = N
The resulting code is FSPTZN.
