Given Data

1. In a certain code language, 'FLOWER' is written as 'CILTBO'.

Question

How will 'GARDEN' be written in that same code language?

Answer

DXOABK.

Solution

1. Analyze the backward shift for each letter in 'FLOWER':
2. F (-3) = C
3. L (-3) = I
4. O (-3) = L
5. W (-3) = T
6. E (-3) = B
7. R (-3) = O
8. Each letter is shifted backward by 3 positions (-3 shift).
9. Apply the same -3 shift to 'GARDEN':
10. G (-3) = D
11. A (-3) = X (wrapping around Z)
12. R (-3) = O
13. D (-3) = A
14. E (-3) = B
15. N (-3) = K
16. Therefore, 'GARDEN' is coded as 'DXOABK'.
