In a certain code, each letter is shifted by 2 positions forward in the alphabet. How is MACHINE coded?

The correct answer is A: OCEJKPG. M→O, A→C, C→E, H→J, I→K, N→P, E→G. Each letter shifts 2 positions forward.

2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?, 50

The correct answer is A: 37. Pattern: n² + 1 where n = 1,2,3,4,5,6. So 6² + 1 = 37

PICTURE: Each letter is replaced by its reverse in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y, etc.). What is the code?

The correct answer is A: KZXFIRV. P(16)→K(11), I(9)→R(18), C(3)→X(24), T(20)→G(7), U(21)→E(5), R(18)→I(9), E(5)→V(22) = KRXGEIV. Hmm, let me recalculate: A=1↔Z=26, so reverse = 27-letter. P=16→27-16=11(K), I=9→27-9=18(R), C=3→27-3=24(X), T=20→27-20=7(G), U=21→27-21=6(F), R=18→27-18=9(I), E=5→27-5=22(V) = KRXGFIV. Closest to A: KZXFI
