In a certain code language, the word 'FLOWER' is written as 'HNQYGT'. How is the word 'GARDEN' written in that code language?

The word 'GARDEN' is coded as 'ICTFGP'.

The underlying coding rule shifts each letter forward by 2 positions in alphabetical order (

+2

). Applying this

+2

shift to 'GARDEN' produces

G \rightarrow I

A \rightarrow C

R \rightarrow T

D \rightarrow F

E \rightarrow G

, and

N \rightarrow P

, which forms the word 'ICTFGP'.

Determine the rule governing the given coded word pair.

Comparing 'FLOWER' to 'HNQYGT':

F+2=H

L+2=N

O+2=Q

W+2=Y

E+2=G

, and

R+2=T

. The pattern is a uniform forward shift of

+2

positions in the alphabet.

Identifying the step size and direction of letter shifts.

Apply the

+2

forward shift rule to each letter of the word 'GARDEN'.

G+2=I

A+2=C

R+2=T

D+2=F

E+2=G

N+2=P

Transforming the letters of the target word using the established rule.
