In a code language, SKILLS is written as HPROOH. How will PLACES be written in…

Key insight: replace each letter with its opposite in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, …).

1. Verify the given example: SKILLS → HPROOH because S→H, K→P, I→R, L→O, L→O, S→H.

2. Apply the same mapping to PLACES:

   • P → K

   • L → O

   • A → Z

   • C → X

   • E → V

   • S → H

   So PLACES becomes KOZXVH.

Therefore the coded form of PLACES is KOZXVH.
