Correct Answer

✅ Option a — NGLAI

All Options:

  • ANGLAI
  • BNGLIA
  • CGNLAI
  • DGNLI A

Detailed Solution & Explanation

We can determine the letter corresponding to each digit using direct substitution from the given examples:
From the word LOSE→1357\displaystyle LOSE \rightarrow 1357, we get:
L=1\displaystyle L = 1, O=3\displaystyle O = 3, S=5\displaystyle S = 5, E=7\displaystyle E = 7

From the word GAIN→2468\displaystyle GAIN \rightarrow 2468, we get:
G=2\displaystyle G = 2, A=4\displaystyle A = 4, I=6\displaystyle I = 6, N=8\displaystyle N = 8

Now, let's decode the sequence of figures $82146bysubstitutingthecorrespondinglettersforeachdigit:<br>−\displaystyle by substituting the corresponding letters for each digit:<br>-8 \rightarrow N<br>−\displaystyle <br>-2 \rightarrow G<br>−\displaystyle <br>-1 \rightarrow L<br>−\displaystyle <br>-4 \rightarrow A<br>−\displaystyle <br>-6 \rightarrow I<br><br>Puttingthedecodedletterstogetherinorder,wegettheword\displaystyle <br><br>Putting the decoded letters together in order, we get the wordNGLAI$.

Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
