In a certain code language, 'PENCIL' is written as 'RIPGKP'. What is the code for 'FABRIC' in that code language?
Answer
The correct answer is D: HEDVKG. The coding pattern alternately skips 1 and 3 letters: P→R(+2), E→I(+4), N→P(+2), C→G(+4), I→K(+2), L→P(+4). Applying the same to FABRIC: F→H, A→E, B→D, R→V, I→K, C→G = HEDVKG.
