Ajith codes the word "COUNSEL" as "BITIRAK" by applying a specific pattern of letter shifts: letters at odd positions are shifted one step backward in the alphabet, while letters at even positions are shifted backward by decreasing steps starting from six. Specifically, the shifts for "COUNSEL" are:
- C (1st letter, odd) – 1 = B
- O (2nd letter, even) – 6 = I
- U (3rd letter, odd) – 1 = T
- N (4th letter, even) – 5 = I
- S (5th letter, odd) – 1 = R
- E (6th letter, even) – 4 = A
- L (7th letter, odd) – 1 = K
Applying the same pattern to the word "GUIDANCE":
- G (1st, odd) – 1 = F
- U (2nd, even) – 6 = O
- I (3rd, odd) – 1 = H
- D (4th, even) – 5 = Y
- A (5th, odd) – 1 = Z
- N (6th, even) – 4 = J
- C (7th, odd) – 1 = B
- E (8th, even) – 3 = B
Thus, "GUIDANCE" is coded as "FOHYZJBB"
