In the given question, the word "GAMBLE" is coded as "FBLCKF". We need to find the coding for the word "FLOWER".
Let`s analyze the given coding pattern:
- Each letter in the original word is replaced by the letter which comes immediately before it in the English alphabet.
- For example, `G` becomes `F`, `A` becomes `Z`, `M` becomes `L`, `B` becomes `A`, `L` becomes `K`, and `E` becomes `D`.
Now, applying this pattern to the word "FLOWER":
- `F` becomes `E`, `L` becomes `K`, `O` becomes `N`, `W` becomes `V`, `E` becomes `D`, and `R` becomes `Q`.
- Therefore, the coded word for "FLOWER" is "EKNVDQ".
Now, let`s check the options:
- Option 1: GMPVDS - This option does not match the coding pattern.
- Option 2: GKPVFQ - This option does not match the coding pattern.
- Option 3: EMNXDS - This option matches the coding pattern. The correct answer is option 3.
