Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: FMELAS
Explanation:
For PRACTICE the encoded result is PICCTRAE. This is obtained by reading the original letters in this order of positions: 1, 6, 4, 7, 5, 2, 3, 8. Applying that order gives P I C C T R A E.
Apply the same pattern to FLAMES (positions 1–6). Read the original letters in this order of positions: 1, 4, 5, 2, 3, 6. That yields F M E L A S, i.e. "FMELAS".
Hence, FLAMES is encoded as FMELAS.
