ANSWER WITH SOLUTION

1. (a): Each letter in the word is moved one step backward to obtain the corresponding letter of the code.

2. (b): The first letter of the word is moved one step backward, while the two middle letters are each moved one step forward to obtain the corresponding letters of the code.

3. (a): The first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh letters in the word are each moved one step forward, the second, fourth, eighth and tenth letters are each moved one step backward, while the middle (i.e. sixth) letter is moved two steps forward to obtain the corresponding letters of the code.

4. (a): The first, third, fifth letter in the word is moved two steps forward and second, fourth, sixth letter moved three steps forward to obtain the corresponding letter of the code.

5. (d): The first, third and fifth letters in the word are moved two, three and four steps forward respectively while the second, fourth and sixth letters are moved two, three and four steps backward respectively to obtain the corresponding letters of the code.

6. (c): The first letter of the word is replaced by a set of two letters – one following it and the other preceding it – in the code. The remaining letters moved one steps backward to obtain the corresponding letters of the code.

7. (c): The first letter of the word is moved to the last position and “S” is placed at the beginning, to form the code.

8. (b): The first four letters, the middle two letters and the last four letters of the word are written in a reverse order to form the code.

9. (a): The code contains the letters of the word in the order- third, fourth, second, fifth, first and sixth.
