Coding Pattern Analysis
The question asks us to find the coding pattern used to transform words like PHEM to NEAH and PIST to NFOO, and then apply this pattern to the word ZULO.
Let's analyze the transformation by looking at the position of letters in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
Step 1: Decode the Pattern
Compare PHEM with NEAH:
- P (16) -> N (14): Difference is $16 - 14 = 2$
- H (8) -> E (5): Difference is $8 - 5 = 3$
- E (5) -> A (1): Difference is $5 - 1 = 4$
- M (13) -> H (8): Difference is $13 - 8 = 5$
The pattern appears to be subtracting the letter's position in the sequence (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) plus one from its alphabetical value.
- 1st letter: Subtract $1+1=2$
- 2nd letter: Subtract $2+1=3$
- 3rd letter: Subtract $3+1=4$
- 4th letter: Subtract $4+1=5$
Let's verify this pattern with PIST -> NFOO:
- P (16) - 2 = 14 (N)
- I (9) - 3 = 6 (F)
- S (19) - 4 = 15 (O)
- T (20) - 5 = 15 (O)
The pattern holds true.
Step 2: Apply the Pattern to ZULO
We need to apply the same pattern (subtract 2, 3, 4, 5) to ZULO.
- Z (26) is the 1st letter: $26 - 2 = 24$. The 24th letter is X.
- U (21) is the 2nd letter: $21 - 3 = 18$. The 18th letter is R.
- L (12) is the 3rd letter: $12 - 4 = 8$. The 8th letter is H.
- O (15) is the 4th letter: $15 - 5 = 10$. The 10th letter is J.
Therefore, ZULO is coded as XRHJ.
