In a certain code system, words are transformed according to the following rules:
1. Every vowel is replaced by its reverse alphabetical counterpart (where $A \leftrightarrow Z$, $E \leftrightarrow V$, $I \leftrightarrow R$, $O \leftrightarrow L$, $U \leftrightarrow F$, such that the sum of the positional values of the original and transformed letter is $27$).
2. Every consonant located at an odd-numbered position in the word (1st, 3rd, 5th...) is replaced by the letter $3$ steps ahead of it in the alphabetical series ($+3$).
3. Every consonant located at an even-numbered position in the word (2nd, 4th, 6th...) is replaced by the letter $2$ steps behind it in the alphabetical series ($-2$).

You are serving as the Regional Director of a State Public Works Department. A junior divisional accountant submits a formal written grievance accusing a senior executive engineer of deliberately assigning an unmanageable workload, withholding project files necessary for financial auditing, and using aggressive language during internal reviews.

In a certain code system, words are transformed according to the following rules based on letter positions indexed $1, 2, 3, \dots, n$ from left to right:
1. Letters at odd position indices ($1, 3, 5, \dots$) are replaced by their reverse alphabetical counterparts (where $A \leftrightarrow Z$, $B \leftrightarrow Y$, $C \leftrightarrow X$, etc.).
2. Letters at even position indices ($2, 4, 6, \dots$) are replaced by the letter shifted forward in the English alphabet by a number of positions equal to their 1-based index (wrapping around from $Z$ to $A$ if necessary).

Based on these rules, what is the correct code for the word 'JOURNEY'?

If $P \times Q$ means '$P$ is the father of $Q$', $P + Q$ means '$P$ is the sister of $Q$', and $P - Q$ means '$P$ is the mother of $Q$', how is $A$ related to $C$ in the expression $A + B \times C$?

- $A \times B$ means '$A$ is the brother of $B$'

Based on the expression $M \div N + O - P \times Q$, how is $Q$ related to $M$?
