In a certain code, TWONKLE is written as SVHOJKD, then how would FILTERS be written in that code?

Options

A. EHKSDOR
B. EHKUDQR
C. EGKUDOR
D. GJMSFST

Explanation

To solve the problem of how the word "FILTERS" is coded based on the example of "TWONKLE" being coded as "SVHOJKD", we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Analyze the given code
We need to understand how each letter in "TWONKLE" corresponds to the letters in "SVHOJKD".

- T → S
- W → V
- O → H
- N → O
- K → J
- L → K
- E → D

### Step 2: Identify the pattern
From the analysis, we can see that:
- The first letter (T) is shifted one step backward to get S.
- The second letter (W) is also shifted one step backward to get V.
- The third letter (O) is shifted one step backward to get H.
- The fourth letter (N) is shifted one step forward to get O.
- The fifth letter (K) is shifted one step backward to get J.
- The sixth letter (L) is shifted one step backward to get K.
- The seventh letter (E) is shifted one step backward to get D.

From this, we can deduce that:
- For all letters except the middle letter, we shift one step backward in the alphabet.
- For the middle letter (N in "TWONKLE" and T in "FILTERS"), we shift one step forward.

### Step 3: Apply the same logic to "FILTERS"
Now, we will apply the same coding logic to the word "FILTERS".

1. Identify the letters in "FILTERS":
- F, I, L, T, E, R, S

2. Determine the middle letter:
- The middle letter is T (4th position in the 7-letter word).

3. Shift letters accordingly:
- F → E (one step backward)
- I → H (one step backward)
- L → K (one step backward)
- T → U (one step forward)
- E → D (one step backward)
- R → Q (one step backward)
- S → R (one step backward)

### Step 4: Combine the coded letters
Now, we combine the coded letters to form the final coded word:
- E, H, K, U, D, Q, R

Thus, "FILTERS" is coded as "EHKUDQR".

### Final Answer
The code for the word "FILTERS" is **EHKUDQR**.
