Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let us analyze the coding rule by studying how **MENTION** becomes **LNEITNO**:
1. **First Letter Rule:**
The first letter **M** is shifted backward by position in the alphabet:
2. **Remaining Letters Rule:**
The remaining letters of **MENTION** are **E, N, T, I, O, N**. We divide them into consecutive pairs and reverse each pair:
- Pair 1:
- Pair 2:
- Pair 3:
Concatenating these reversed pairs gives **NEITNO**.
Combining both parts, we get **L** + **NEITNO** .
Now we apply this exact same rule to the word **PRESENT**:
1. **First Letter Rule:**
The first letter **P** is shifted backward by position:
2. **Remaining Letters Rule:**
The remaining letters of **PRESENT** are **R, E, S, E, N, T**. We divide them into consecutive pairs and reverse each pair:
- Pair 1:
- Pair 2:
- Pair 3:
Concatenating these reversed pairs gives **ERESTN**.
Combining both parts, we get **O** + **ERESTN** .
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
