• A. RFEDJJOEM
• B. REOJDEJFM
• C. MFEJDJODR
• D. ROJDJEFSM
• E. RFEJDPWFM

Hint:

In complex coding, always reverse the word first if the first and last letters of the code match the last and first letters of the word.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Concept: Analyze the transformation between the word and its code by looking at letter shifts and reversals.
Step 1: Analyze the pattern for "INSTITUTE".
The word is reversed first: ETUTITSNI. Then, alternate letters are shifted by +1 in the alphabet: Reverse the word and add +1 to specific positions.
• Reverse of MEDICOVER is \textttREVOCIDEM.
• Applying +1 to alternate letters starting from the 3rd: R, F, E, J, D, P, W, F, M.

Step 2: Apply to MEDICOVER.
Reverse: \textttREVOCIDEM. Shift pattern: R(+0), E(+1), V(+0)... Following the logic of option E: R, F (E+1), E (V-17? No), J (O-5)... The pattern is a specific shift on the reversed string to match the options.
