In a certain code language, TREMOR is written as SQFLPQ. How will FATHER be…

In letter coding-decoding items like this, a fixed per-letter substitution rule connects a word to its code. The rule is usually a one-step alphabet shift whose direction depends on the letter's type — for example, consonants shifting one way and vowels shifting the other way. The rule is found by comparing the given word to its code letter by letter, then applied unchanged to the new word.

Deriving the rule from TREMOR → SQFLPQ:

1. T (consonant) → S: one letter back.

2. R (consonant) → Q: one letter back.

3. E (vowel) → F: one letter forward.

4. M (consonant) → L: one letter back.

5. O (vowel) → P: one letter forward.

6. R (consonant) → Q: one letter back.

All six letters are consistent with one rule: consonants move one letter back, vowels move one letter forward.

Applying the rule to FATHER:

1. F (consonant) → E

2. A (vowel) → B

3. T (consonant) → S

4. H (consonant) → G

5. E (vowel) → F

6. R (consonant) → Q

Cross-check: re-deriving letter T independently (consonant, one step back) gives S, matching the third step above, and letter E (vowel, one step forward) gives F, matching the fifth step — both consistent with the rule confirmed from TREMOR. Combining all six letters gives FATHER → E B S G F Q, i.e. EBSGFQ.
