Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's figure out the pattern for "SELDOM" → "NPEMFT":
Reverse the word "SELDOM" ⟹ M O D L E S.
Now, add +1 to each letter of the reversed word:
M+1=N
O+1=P
D+1=E
L+1=M
E+1=F
S+1=T
This yields "NPEMFT".
Applying the same logic to "SACRIFICE":
Reverse the word "SACRIFICE" ⟹ E C I F I R C A S.
Now, add +1 to each letter:
E+1=F
C+1=D
I+1=J
F+1=G
I+1=J
R+1=S
C+1=D
A+1=B
S+1=T
The resulting coded word is FDJGJSDBT.
