The correct answer is
VCPGNGF

To solve this coding problem, we need to identify the pattern used to transform each letter of the given words into their coded counterparts. Let's examine the provided word-coding pairs:

1. Analyzing the Pattern:

  • 'ELASTCY' is coded as 'GNCSVEA'.
  • 'VIRTUAL' is coded as 'XKTTWCN'.

2. Code Pattern Analysis:

To find out the pattern, let's compare the position of letters in each pair:

  • 'E' (5) → 'G' (7): Here, 5 + 2 = 7.
  • 'L' (12) → 'N' (14): Here, 12 + 2 = 14.
  • 'A' (1) → 'C' (3): Here, 1 + 2 = 3.
  • 'S' (19) → 'S' (19): No change.
  • 'T' (20) → 'V' (22): Here, 20 + 2 = 22.
  • 'C' (3) → 'E' (5): Here, 3 + 2 = 5.
  • 'Y' (25) → 'A' (1): Here, 25 + 2 = 27. Since the alphabet repeats after 'Z', 27 maps to 1.

This pattern suggests adding 2 to the numeric position of each letter, wrapping around (from 'Z' to 'A') if necessary, except maintaining the letter 'S' as it is.

3. Applying Pattern to 'TANGLED':
  • 'T' (20) → 'V': 20 + 2 = 22.
  • 'A' (1) → 'C': 1 + 2 = 3.
  • 'N' (14) → 'P': 14 + 2 = 16.
  • 'G' (7) → 'G': itself (no change like 'S').
  • 'L' (12) → 'N': 12 + 2 = 14.
  • 'E' (5) → 'G': 5 + 2 = 7.
  • 'D' (4) → 'F': 4 + 2 = 6.

Conclusion: The coded form of 'TANGLED' using the same pattern is 'VCPGNGF'. Therefore, the correct answer is:

VCPGNGF
