The correct answer is
ETKUTG

Let's solve the problem of decoding the word 'TENDER' using the pattern observed in the given examples.

First, analyze the encoding pattern from the examples given:

  • 'THORP' is written as 'EQJGI'.
  • 'HEART' is written as 'QTXGE'.

We need to understand how each letter in the given words is transformed into the coded language.

Let's break down the transformation for each word:

  1. For 'THORP' to 'EQJGI':
    • 'T' (20) becomes 'E' (5) → E = T - 15.
    • 'H' (8) becomes 'Q' (17) → Q = H + 9.
    • 'O' (15) becomes 'J' (10) → J = O - 5.
    • 'R' (18) becomes 'G' (7) → G = R - 11.
    • 'P' (16) becomes 'I' (9) → I = P - 7.
  2. For 'HEART' to 'QTXGE':
    • 'H' (8) becomes 'Q' (17) → Q = H + 9.
    • 'E' (5) becomes 'T' (20) → T = E + 15.
    • 'A' (1) becomes 'X' (24) → X = A + 23.
    • 'R' (18) becomes 'G' (7) → G = R - 11.
    • 'T' (20) becomes 'E' (5) → E = T - 15.

Analyzing these transformations, we observe a pattern where a rule applies to each position of the letters. Let us decode 'TENDER' using this guideline:

  1. 'T' (20) becomes 'E' (5) → E = T - 15.
  2. 'E' (5) becomes 'T' (20) → T = E + 15.
  3. 'N' (14) becomes 'K' (11) → K = N - 3.
  4. 'D' (4) becomes 'U' (21) → U = D + 17.
  5. 'E' (5) becomes 'T' (20) → T = E + 15.
  6. 'R' (18) becomes 'G' (7) → G = R - 11.

Finally, based on the deduced pattern, 'TENDER' is encoded as 'ETKUTG'.

Therefore, the correct option is ETKUTG.
