The correct answer is
TCGLQ

Decoding the Letter Code Pattern

This problem involves a coding language where words are transformed based on a specific rule. We need to figure out this rule by analyzing the given examples, 'PAPER' becoming 'RCSHT' and 'PRIDE' becoming 'RTLGG'. Once we understand the pattern, we can apply it to the word 'RADIO'.

Analyzing the Transformation Rule

Let's examine the first example: 'PAPER' to 'RCSHT'. We can look at the position of each letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and see how it changes.

Original Letter Position Coded Letter Position Change
P 16 R 18 +2 (18 - 16)
A 1 C 3 +2 (3 - 1)
P 16 S 19 +3 (19 - 16)
E 5 H 8 +3 (8 - 5)
R 18 T 20 +2 (20 - 18)

The pattern observed is: add 2, add 2, add 3, add 3, add 2 to the position of each letter.

Now, let's verify this pattern with the second example: 'PRIDE' to 'RTLGG'.

Original Letter Position Coded Letter Position Change
P 16 R 18 +2 (18 - 16)
R 18 T 20 +2 (20 - 18)
I 9 L 12 +3 (12 - 9)
D 4 G 7 +3 (7 - 4)
E 5 G 7 +2 (7 - 5)

The pattern (+2, +2, +3, +3, +2) is consistent across both examples. This confirms the rule we need to apply.

Applying the Pattern to 'RADIO'

We will now apply the identified coding pattern (+2, +2, +3, +3, +2) to the word 'RADIO'.

  1. R: The position is 18. Applying +2 gives $18 + 2 = 20$. The 20th letter is 'T'.
  2. A: The position is 1. Applying +2 gives $1 + 2 = 3$. The 3rd letter is 'C'.
  3. D: The position is 4. Applying +3 gives $4 + 3 = 7$. The 7th letter is 'G'.
  4. I: The position is 9. Applying +3 gives $9 + 3 = 12$. The 12th letter is 'L'.
  5. O: The position is 15. Applying +2 gives $15 + 2 = 17$. The 17th letter is 'Q'.

Following these steps, the word 'RADIO' is coded as 'TCGLQ'.

Final Coded Word

The word 'RADIO' translates to 'TCGLQ' using the discovered coding pattern. This matches one of the provided options.
