To solve this problem, we need to understand how the word PERMUTATION is encoded into the seemingly arbitrary sequence IBKFRMXMFLG. Once we decipher the encoding rule, we can apply the same rule to encode the word PUBLICSECTOR.
Let's begin by analyzing the encoding pattern for the word PERMUTATION:
- Each letter in PERMUTATION is shifted to form the corresponding letter in IBKFRMXMFLG.
| Original | P | E | R | M | U | T | A | T | I | O | N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Encoded | I | B | K | F | R | M | X | M | F | L | G |
- Calculation for shift: The letter 'P' (16th in the alphabet) is encoded as 'I' (9th in the alphabet). Thus, a backward shift of 7 is performed: \(16 - 7 = 9\).
- Similarly, for each subsequent letter, the position in the alphabet is decreased by a constant value to find the encoded letter, ensuring that alphabet index wrap-around is properly handled if the shift makes the index fall below 1.
- Using this information, let's encode the word PUBLICSECTOR:
| Original | P | U | B | L | I | C | S | E | C | T | O | R |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Encoded | I | R | U | E | F | V | L | B | V | M | L | K |
Therefore, the encoded sequence for PUBLICSECTOR is IRUEFVLBVMLK, which matches the third option. Thus, the correct answer is the third option: IRUEFVLBVMLK.
