In a certain code language, "SPICEY" is written as "ELOUAY" and "PONDER" is written as "JKLNAZ". How is "HOUSED" written in that code language?

"SPICEY" is written as "ELOUAY"

Step I : The word is divided into 2 parts = SPI and CEY

Step II : 4 letters are subtracted from each part, => SPI (-4 letters) = OLE and CEY (-4 letters) = YAU

Step III : Each code is written in reverse order and merged at the end, => SPI -> ELO and CEY -> UAY

Similar pattern is observed in PONDER : JKLNAZ

Thus, HOU (-4 letters) = DKQ and SED (-4 letters) = OAZ

=> Reversing each part, we get HOUSED : QKDZAO

=> Ans - (A)
