General Studies · Coding-Decoding

The letters of the English alphabet are coded as follows based on their positional value k (1 to 26): (i) (k + 17)th letter when 1 ≤ k ≤ 9 (ii) (k - 1)th letter when 10 ≤ k ≤ 18 (iii) (k - 18)th letter when 19 ≤ k ≤ 26 Note: If the index exceeds 26, it wraps around. For decoding, the reverse process is applied. Which word is coded as GAURD?
