Understanding the Code Language
To decode how "durables" is translated to "BSVETFMC," we first analyze the transformation of each letter.
Letter Transformation Analysis
- d → B: The letter 'd' is the 4th letter in the alphabet, and 'B' is the 2nd letter. This indicates a backward shift of 2.
- u → S: The letter 'u' is the 21st letter, while 'S' is the 19th, indicating a backward shift of 2.
- r → V: Here, 'r' is the 18th letter, while 'V' is the 22nd, indicating a forward shift of 4.
- a → E: The letter 'a' is the 1st letter, and 'E' is the 5th, indicating a forward shift of 4.
- b → T: The letter 'b' is the 2nd letter, while 'T' is the 20th, indicating a forward shift of 18.
- l → F: 'l' is the 12th letter, and 'F' is the 6th, indicating a backward shift of 6.
- e → M: 'e' is the 5th letter, while 'M' is the 13th, indicating a forward shift of 8.
- s → C: 's' is the 19th letter, while 'C' is the 3rd, indicating a backward shift of 16.
From this, we deduce that the coding involves alternating shifts backward and forward.
Encoding "feasible"
Now, let's apply the same shifting pattern to the word "feasible":
- f → d: (backward shift of 2)
- e → c: (backward shift of 2)
- a → e: (forward shift of 4)
- s → w: (forward shift of 4)
- i → q: (forward shift of 8)
- b → v: (backward shift of 6)
- l → f: (backward shift of 6)
- e → c: (backward shift of 16)
Final Result
Thus, "feasible" will be coded as "dcweqvfc".
