If PEARL is coded as RGCUN, how is STONE coded?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Map letters in PEARL: $P(16)	o R(18)=+2$, $E(5)	o G(7)=+2$, $A(1)	o C(3)=+2$, $R(18)	o U(21)=+3$, $L(12)	o N(14)=+2$. 
2. Pattern: add $+2$ to each letter, except the 4th letter which gets $+3$. 
3. Apply to STONE: $S+2=U$, $T+2=V$, $O+2=Q$, $N+3=Q$, $E+2=G$. 
4. Result is **UVQQG**, which is option (a).
