This is a letter substitution cipher where each letter is shifted forward by 4 positions: V→Z, X→B, U→Y, P→T, L→P, V→Z, H→L gives ZBYTPTL (not matching). Let me recalculate: Actually, V+4=Z, X+4=B, U+4=Y, P+4=T, L+4=P, V+4=Z, H+4=L. But SURMISE doesn't match this pattern. The actual cipher appears to be: V→S (-3), X→U (-3), U→R (-3), P→M (-3), L→I (-3), V→S (-3), H→E (-3). So each letter is shifted back by 3. Applying this to SHDVD: S→P, H→E, D→A, V→S, D→A gives PEASA.

The question refers to 'lovelorn Radhe' - Radhe is the name of Salman Khan's character in the film 'Tere Naam' (2003), where he played a lovelorn, troubled young man. The other films - Tum Bin, Love, and Saathiya - do not feature a character named Radhe.

Eating dinner before 7:30 PM is recommended to give the body adequate time to digest food before sleeping.

Drinking water immediately before or after meals is not recommended because it adds volume to the stomach contents and can dilute digestive enzymes, potentially slowing down the digestion process. This is a common Ayurvedic and digestive health practice. The other options (feeling less hungry, taste) are not the primary reasons for this recommendation.

Traditional health guidelines recommend maintaining approximately 2 hours gap between drinking water and meals. This allows proper digestion without interference from water diluting stomach acid and enzymes. 1 hour is too short, while 3-4 hours are unnecessarily long gaps.

The general health recommendation is to drink 2-3 liters of water daily. Option D (2.5 litres) represents a reasonable middle-ground target for adequate hydration. The other options (0.5, 1, 1.5 litres) are below recommended daily intake.
