If FRIEND is coded as IULHQG, how will you code ENEMY?

Correct option is A

Given:

• FRIEND is coded as IULHQG.
• We need to code ENEMY.

Formula Used:

The position of each letter in the alphabet is shifted forward or backward based on the coding pattern.
To identify the pattern:

1. Find the alphabet positions of each letter.
2. Compare the shifts applied to the letters of FRIEND to get IULHQG.
3. Apply the same shifts to code ENEMY.

Solution:

1. Alphabet positions for FRIEND → IULHQG:
   | Letter (FRIEND) | Position | Letter (IULHQG) | Position | Shift Applied |
   |-----------------|----------|-----------------|----------|---------------|
   | F | 6 | I | 9 | +3 |
   | R | 18 | U | 21 | +3 |
   | I | 9 | L | 12 | +3 |
   | E | 5 | H | 8 | +3 |
   | N | 14 | Q | 17 | +3 |
   | D | 4 | G | 7 | +3 |

Observation: Each letter is shifted 3 positions forward in the alphabet.

1. Apply the same shift (+3) to ENEMY:
   | Letter (ENEMY) | Position | Shifted Position | Coded Letter |
   |----------------|----------|------------------|--------------|
   | E | 5 | 8 | H |
   | N | 14 | 17 | Q |
   | E | 5 | 8 | H |
   | M | 13 | 16 | P |
   | Y | 25 | 28 → 2 | B |

Final Answer:

The code for ENEMY is HQHPB.
