Note : In a code the

n^{th}

letter in the English alphabet is coded as the

r^{th}

letter of it, where r is the remainder when 3n + 2 is divided by 26. For example, the 7th letter G is coded as W since 3.7 + 2 = 23 and W is the 23rd letter; the 8th letter H is coded as Z since 3.8 + 2 = 26 and Z is the 26th letter in the alphabet. The reverse process is used for decoding. Based on this coding and decoding answer Q. Nos. 56 to 60.
