HUNGER is coded as SFMTVI.
Let us replace the letters with their position in the alphabetical series.
H - 8 S - 19
U - 21 F - 6
As we can see, the logic used is as follows:
H has 7 letters before it in the alphabetical series. S has 7 letters after it in the series.
Similarly, U has 20 letters before it in the alphabetical series. F has 20 letters after it.
Following the same logic,
O must be replaced by L.
N must be replaced by M.
E must be replaced by V.
R must be replaced by I.
O must be replaced by L.
U must be replaced by F.
S must be replaced by H.
The code for ONEROUS is LMVILFH. Therefore, option B is the right answer.

Machine Coding:
The machine codes "HUNGER" as "SFMTVI". We need to determine how the machine will code the word "ONEROUS".
Analysis:
Let's analyze the given coding scheme by comparing the positions of the letters in the original word with their corresponding positions in the coded word.
Original Word: H U N G E R
Coded Word: S F M T V I
Pattern:
From the analysis, we can observe that the coding scheme follows a specific pattern:
- The position of each letter in the coded word is determined by adding a fixed number to its position in the original word.
- The fixed number is the same for all the letters.
To find the fixed number, we can compare the positions of the corresponding letters in the original and coded words:
H -> S: The position of "H" in the alphabet is 8, and the position of "S" is 19. So, the difference is 19 - 8 = 11.
U -> F: The position of "U" in the alphabet is 21, and the position of "F" is 6. So, the difference is 6 - 21 = -15.
N -> M: The position of "N" in the alphabet is 14, and the position of "M" is 13. So, the difference is 13 - 14 = -1.
G -> T: The position of "G" in the alphabet is 7, and the position of "T" is 20. So, the difference is 20 - 7 = 13.
E -> V: The position of "E" in the alphabet is 5, and the position of "V" is 22. So, the difference is 22 - 5 = 17.
R -> I: The position of "R" in the alphabet is 18, and the position of "I" is 9. So, the difference is 9 - 18 = -9.
Coding "ONEROUS":
Using the same pattern, we can now code the word "ONEROUS":
O -> L: The position of "O" in the alphabet is 15, and the position of "L" is 12. So, the difference is 12 - 15 = -3.
N -> M: The position of "N" in the alphabet is 14, and the position of "M" is 13. So, the difference is 13 - 14 = -1.
E -> V: The position of "E" in the alphabet is 5, and the position of "V" is 22. So, the difference is 22 - 5 = 17.
R -> I: The position of "R" in the alphabet is 18, and the position of "I" is 9. So, the difference is 9 - 18 = -9.
O -> L: The position of "O" in the alphabet is 15, and the position of "L" is 12. So, the difference is 12 - 15 = -3.
U -> M: The position of "U" in the alphabet is 21, and the position of "M" is 13. So, the difference is 13 - 21
