Observe all numbers are multiple of 3.
Number: (Number of letters in word – 1) * 3
Observe 4 symbols are used and there are words ending in 4 letters only –u , r, d, i
So u – #, r – @, d – %, i – $
Alphabet: first letter of word – 2. If the first letter represents number ≤ 13 (26/2) then alphabet written at start, but if first letter represents number > 13 (26/2) then alphabet written at end
So
Jammu will be coded as:
J = 10 which is ≤ 13, J-2 => H, last letter u => #, and number of letters in 5 so (5-1) * 3 = 12
So H #12
Puri will be coded as:
P = 16 which is > 13, P-2 => N, last letter i => $, and number of letters in 4 so (4-1) * 3 = 9
So H #12
