The correct answer is JQMJXUO

To find how ‘GARNISH’ is written in the given code language, let’s first identify the pattern used for the words ‘PROJECT’ and ‘INDULGE’.

Step 1: Analyze ‘PROJECT’ → ‘VAIFULX’

First, reverse the word ‘PROJECT’: T C E J O R P

Next, apply a sequence of alternating addition and subtraction to the alphabetical positions:

T (20) +2=22→ V

C (3) −2=1→ A

E (5) +4=9→ I

J (10) −4=6→ F

O (15) +6=21→ U

R (18) −6=12→ L

P (16) +8=24→ X Result: VAIFULX

Step 2: Verify with ‘INDULGE’ → ‘GEPQJHQ’

Reverse the word ‘INDULGE’: E G L U D N I

Apply the same pattern (+2,−2,+4,−4,+6,−6,+8):

E (5) +2=7→ G

G (7) −2=5→ E

L (12) +4=16→ P

U (21) −4=17→ Q

D (4) +6=10→ J

N (14) −6=8→ H

I (9) +8=17→ Q Result: GEPQJHQ

Step 3: Apply to ‘GARNISH’

Reverse the word ‘GARNISH’: H S I N R A G

Apply the pattern (+2,−2,+4,−4,+6,−6,+8):

H (8) +2=10→ J

S (19) −2=17→ Q

I (9) +4=13→ M

N (14) −4=10→ J

R (18) +6=24→ X

A (1) −6=−5 (which corresponds to 26−5=21) → U

G (7) +8=15→ O

In that language, ‘GARNISH’ will be written as JQMJXUO.
