ANBWRRF
BMAVSPE
CNBWTRD
DNAWTRF ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) NAWTRF — ANSWER is written as NAWTRF, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★ANSWER is written as NAWTRF, so that is the answer.
★The word is split into pairs, and each pair is reversed in order.
★In the second and third pairs the trailing letter is then moved one step ahead in the alphabet.
★For MOTHER the pairs MO, TH, ER become OM, HU, RF, giving OMHURF, which confirms the rule.
★For ANSWER the pairs AN, SW, ER reverse to NA, WS, RE, then WS becomes WT and RE becomes RF.
★So ANSWER is written as NAWTRF.
