In a certain code language, ‘DEVOTION’ is written as ‘EHAVREIF’, and ‘SANSKRIT’ is written as ‘TDSZINCL’. How will ‘LICENSED’ be written in that language?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the pattern by dividing the 8-letter words into two halves of 4 letters each.
Word 1: DEVOTION → EHAVREIF
First Half: DEVO
Reverse the order: O-V-E-D
Apply operation to each letter:
O−10=E
V+12=H
E−4=A
D+18=V
This logic does not align perfectly. Let's look at direct vowel-consonant shifts or alternate patterns.
Alternative Pattern:
Let's check positional operations between DEVOTION and EHAVREIF:
D(+1)→E
E(+3)→H
V(−21)→A (or V(22)→A(1) via opposition)
Let's look at cross pairs or vowel/consonant rules:
Vowels: E, O, I, O
Consonants: D, V, T, N
Let's re-examine carefully:
D (+1) = E
E (+3) = H
V (+5) = A (22 + 5 = 27 → A)
O (+7) = V (15 + 7 = 22 → V)
T (-11) = I? No.
Let's check from the end or split pairs:
The first half: D E V O → E H A V
D+1=E
E+3=H
V+5=A (22+5=27≡1)
O+7=V (15+7=22)
So the first four letters are added with consecutive odd numbers: +1,+3,+5,+7.
The second half: T I O N → R E I F
Let's check the relation between TION and REIF:
T(−2)=R
I(−4)=E
O(−6)=I
N(−8)=F
So the last four letters are subtracted with consecutive even numbers: −2,−4,−6,−8.
Word 2: SANSKRIT → TDSZINCL
First Half (+1, +3, +5, +7):
S+1=T
A+3=D
N+5=S
S+7=Z
Matches "TDSZ"
Second Half (-2, -4, -6, -8):
K−2=I
R−4=N
I−6=C
T−8=L
Matches "INCL"
Applying the pattern to LICENSED:
First Half (L I C E):
L(12)+1=13→M
I(9)+3=12→L
C(3)+5=8→H
E(5)+7=12→L
First half code = MLHL
Second Half (N I S E D is 8 letters total: L-I-C-E-N-S-E-D):
Wait, LICENSED has 8 letters: L I C E and N S E D.
N(14)−2=12→L
S(19)−4=15→O
E(5)−6=−1≡25→Y
D(4)−8=−4≡22→V
Second half code = LOYV
Combining both halves: MLHLLOYV
Word 1: DEVOTION → EHAVREIF
