In statement (iv), there are two alphabet 'N' and correspondingly two coded letters 'k'. So, 'N' is coded as 'k'.
In statement (i) and (iii), the common alphabet is 'T' and the common code letter is 'y'. So, 'T' is coded as 'y'.
In statement (iii) and (v), the common alphabet is 'O' and the common code letter is 'a'. So, 'O' is coded as 'a'.
Again, in statement (iv) and (v), the common alphabet is 'E' and the common code letter is 'g'. So, 'E' is coded as 'g'.
