The question asks us to find the coded representation of the word 'UNCLE' based on the given examples: 'FATHER' coded as 'IFWMHW' and 'SISTER' coded as 'VNVYHW'.
Decoding the Pattern
We need to identify the relationship between the letters of the original words and their corresponding coded letters.
- FATHER -> IFWMHW
- F (+3 letters) = I
- A (+5 letters) = F
- T (+3 letters) = W
- H (+5 letters) = M
- E (+3 letters) = H
- R (+5 letters) = W
- SISTER -> VNVYHW
- S (+3 letters) = V
- I (+5 letters) = N
- S (+3 letters) = V
- T (+5 letters) = Y
- E (+3 letters) = H
- R (+5 letters) = W
The pattern observed is a sequential addition of 3 and 5 letters to the original letters: +3, +5, +3, +5, and so on.
Applying the Pattern to 'UNCLE'
Now, we apply the same +3, +5 pattern to the word 'UNCLE':
- U (+3 letters) = X (21 + 3 = 24)
- N (+5 letters) = S (14 + 5 = 19)
- C (+3 letters) = F (3 + 3 = 6)
- L (+5 letters) = Q (12 + 5 = 17)
- E (+3 letters) = H (5 + 3 = 8)
Therefore, 'UNCLE' is coded as 'XSFQH'.
