In a certain code language, 'PLIERS' is coded as MMAFJO and 'SHOVEL' is coded as FZRLFR. How will 'WRENCH' be coded in the same language?

To decode the words, we analyze the given examples:

1. PLIERS is coded as MMAFJO:

– P -> M (shift of -3)

– L -> M (shift of +1)

– I -> A (shift of -8)

– E -> F (shift of +1)

– R -> J (shift of -2)

– S -> O (shift of -4)

2. SHOVEL is coded as FZRLFR:

– S -> F (shift of -13)

– H -> Z (shift of -2)

– O -> R (shift of -3)

– V -> L (shift of -10)

– E -> F (shift of +1)

– L -> R (shift of +6)

The shifts are not consistent, but we can apply similar transformations if we analyze the letter-to-letter shifts.

Now, let’s code WRENCH using a trial approach based on observed patterns:

Starting with WRENCH:
1. W (position 23) could be coded through a relationship derived from previous shifts. Using a similar pattern like the first transformation:

– From W, let’s say the shift could be -3 instead of -1 (as in PLIERS), yielding:

– W -> T
2. R (position 18):

– R coded with a consistent pattern again:
