If STREAMERS is coded as UVTGALDQR, then KNOWLEDGE will be coded as

Concept

In a position-wise coding rule, each letter is shifted by a fixed number of alphabet places determined by its position. A positive shift moves forward and a negative shift moves backward; the same position pattern is applied to every word of equal length.

Application

1. From STREAMERS → UVTGALDQR, positions 1–4 move two places forward, position 5 stays unchanged, and positions 6–9 move one place backward.

2. Apply the forward shift to the first four letters: K → M, N → P, O → Q, W → Y.

3. Keep the fifth letter unchanged: L → L.

4. Apply the backward shift to the last four letters: E → D, D → C, G → F, E → D.

5. Joining the transformed letters gives MPQYLDCFD.

Cross-check

Reverse the rule on MPQYLDCFD: move the first four letters back by two, keep the fifth letter, and move the last four forward by one. This reconstructs KNOWLEDGE.

Therefore, KNOWLEDGE is coded as MPQYLDCFD.
