Answer

The word "LIGHT" is coded as "NKIJV".
Each letter of the original word is shifted forward by 2 positions in the English alphabet: L becomes N, I becomes K, G becomes I, H becomes J, and T becomes V. Combining these gives "NKIJV".

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the pattern from the given example pair "SMART" -> "UOCTV".
S (+2) -> U, M (+2) -> O, A (+2) -> C, R (+2) -> T, T (+2) -> V. The rule is adding 2 positions to each letter (+2 alphabetical shift).
Establishing the positional shift rule between corresponding letters.
2
Apply the identical +2 shift rule to each letter of the target word "LIGHT".
L (+2) -> N; I (+2) -> K; G (+2) -> I; H (+2) -> J; T (+2) -> V.
Executing the established shift logic to code the new word.
3
Combine the transformed letters.
The final coded word is "NKIJV".
Formulating the complete answer string.
