UPSC CAPF – 2019
G (7) -> F (6): -1
A (1) -> B (2): +1
M (13) -> L (12): -1
B (2) -> C (3): +1
L (12) -> K (11): -1
E (5) -> F (6): +1
The pattern is an alternating subtraction and addition of 1 to the alphabetical position of each letter: -1, +1, -1, +1, -1, +1.
Now apply this pattern to the word FLOWER:
F (6) -> F-1 = E (5)
L (12) -> L+1 = M (13)
O (15) -> O-1 = N (14)
W (23) -> W+1 = X (24)
E (5) -> E-1 = D (4)
R (18) -> R+1 = S (19)
The coded word for FLOWER is EMNXDS.
