Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
Analyze MARK → FHMP:
M (13) → F (6) (-7)
A (1) → H (8) (+7)
R (18) → M (13) (-5)
K (11) → P (16) (+5)
Pattern: subtract 7, add 7, subtract 5, add 5.
Apply to LOAN:
L (12) - 7 = E (5)
O (15) + 7 = V (22)
A (1) - 5 = V (22) (since 1 - 5 loops backward to 22)
N (14) + 5 = S (19)
Result: EVVS.
Final Answer: Option C - EVVS
