In a code language, 'LIBERTY' is coded as ‘NKDETVA’ and 'TONIGHT' is coded as ‘VQPIIJV’. How will 'AUCTION' be coded in the same language?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the shift pattern of letters:
Case 1: LIBERTY → NKDETVA
L(+2)→N
I(+2)→K
B(+2)→D
E(+0)→E (Middle letter remains same)
R(+2)→T
T(+2)→V
Y(+2)→A
Let's verify this pattern with TONIGHT → VQPIIJV:
T(+2)→V
O(+2)→Q
N(+2)→P
I(+0)→I (Middle letter remains same)
G(+2)→I
H(+2)→J
T(+2)→V
The pattern is adding +2 to all positions except the middle letter (4th letter) which stays unchanged (+0).
Now apply this logic to AUCTION (7 letters):
A(+2)→C
U(+2)→W
C(+2)→E
T(+0)→T (Middle letter remains unchanged)
I(+2)→K
O(+2)→Q
N(+2)→P
