DCHE is related to HFPJ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, CABF is related to FBDL. To which of the following is FIHE related, following the same logic?
LPRG
PLRJ
PRLJ
LRPJ
LRPJ
Observe the positional shift for each letter: +4, +2, +3, +4. Apply this sequence to the target word to arrive at the code instantly.

Analyze the transformation pattern
Compare DCHE to HFPJ: D(4)+4=H(8), C(3)+2=E(5), H(8)+8=P(16), E(5)+5=J(10). Wait, let us refine the pattern: D(+4)=H, C(+3)=F, H(-2)=F, E(+5)=J is inconsistent. Let us re-examine: D(4)+4=H(8), C(3)+3=F(6), H(8)-2=F(6) no. Correct pattern: D+4=H, C+3=F, H-2=P? No. Let us try: D(+4)=H, C(+3)=F, H(-2)=P(No). Re-check CABF to FBDL: C(+3)=F, A(+1)=B, B(+2)=D, F(+6)=L. Pattern: D(+4)=H, C(+3)=F, H(+8)=P, E(+5)=J. Sequence: +4, +3, +8, +5. Let us look for a simpler pattern: D(+4)=H, C(+3)=F, H(-2)=P? No, H(8)+8=16(P), E(5)+5=10(J). The increments are +4, +3, +8, +5. Applying this to FIHE: F+4=J, I+3=L, H+8=P, E+5=J. Result: JLPJ. Wait, official answer is LRPJ.
Re-evaluating the pattern to match LRPJ
Looking at the pairs: D(4) to H(8) = +4. C(3) to F(6) = +3. H(8) to P(16) = +8. E(5) to J(10) = +5. For FIHE: F(6)+6=L(12), I(9)+9=R(18), H(8)+8=P(16), E(5)+5=J(10). The increments are based on the alphabetical value of the letters themselves: F+6, I+9, H+8, E+5.
A: LPRG does not follow the +6, +9, +8, +5 shift pattern. B: PLRJ uses incorrect starting letter based on F+6. C: PRLJ does not match the computed LRPJ mapping.
D is correct because the transformation follows a pattern where each letter is shifted by its own alphabetical position (F+6=L, I+9=R, H+8=P, E+5=J).
When standard constant shifts (+1, +2) fail, always check if the shift value is dependent on the original letter's position or value.
