If the word 'COLD' is coded as 'DPEM', how is 'WARM' coded?

If the word 'COLD' is coded as 'DPEM', how is 'WARM' coded?

Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'COLD'. They are C, O, L, D.
Step 2: Find the position of each letter in the alphabet: C=3, O=15, L=12, D=4.
Step 3: Shift each letter forward by one position: C becomes D, O becomes P, L becomes M, D becomes E.
Step 4: Combine the new letters to form the coded word: D, P, M, E gives 'DPEM'.
Step 5: Now, apply the same shifting to the word 'WARM'.
Step 6: Identify the letters in 'WARM': W, A, R, M.
Step 7: Find the position of each letter: W=23, A=1, R=18, M=13.
Step 8: Shift each letter forward by one position: W becomes X, A becomes B, R becomes S, M becomes N.
Step 9: Combine the new letters to form the coded word: X, B, S, N gives 'XBSN'.

Letter Shifting – The question tests the understanding of encoding words by shifting each letter a fixed number of positions in the alphabet.
