If COMPUTER is coded as RFUVQNPC, how is MEDICINE coded?

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. COMPUTER (8 letters) → RFUVQNPC. Compare: C→R is +15, but easier — reverse the word and shift each by +1. 2. Reverse COMPUTER: RETUPMOC. Shift each letter by +1: R→S? No, R stays R, E→F, T→U, U→V, P→Q, M→N, O→P, C→D? Looks like reverse and selectively shift even positions. 3. Pattern: reverse word then shift every letter by +1 mod 26 except first. Reverse MEDICINE = ENICIDEM, shift second onwards: E, +1=O, +1=J, +1=D, +1=J, +1=E, +1=F, +1=M? Closest option matching the reverse-then-shift family is EOJDJEFM. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.36 (Shift 1, Coding-Decoding)_
