Scenario
Suppose we have encrypted a plaintext using transportation block cipher
method. We have used three keys K1, K2 and K3 which are of 8, 16 and 8
bits respectively and having followed key pattern:

Key Patterns
Key Pattern 1 (K1)
1↦2, 2↦8, 3↦5, 4↦7, 5↦3, 6↦4, 7↦1, 8↦6
Key Pattern 2 (K2)
1↦3, 2↦10, 3↦8, 4↦12, 5↦7, 6↦13, 7↦2, 8↦16, 9↦15, 10↦11, 11↦5,
12↦14, 13↦1, 14↦6, 15↦9, 16↦4
Key Pattern 3 (K3)
1↦4, 2↦7, 3↦3, 4↦1, 5↦8, 6↦2, 7↦5, 8↦6

First, you should have encrypted their plain text using Key K1, then the
result (obtained cipher text through K2 encryption) is encrypted again by
Key K2 and at the end we have Encrypted the Ciphertext again using K3.

Question Statement
You have to convert Final Cipher Text back to Plain Text by decrypting it
using Keys.
BEST OF LUCK

Answer: to Decrypt
 I am going to follow the inverse ke pattern to decrypt the plain text. First
using key 3 then key 2 and finaly 1

Decryption: for decryption I am going to inverse the

keys .

Inversed Key Pattern 1 for decryption (K1)

2↦1, 8↦2, 5↦3, 7↦4, 3↦5, 4↦6, 1↦7, 6↦8
Key Pattern 2 decryption (K2)
3↦1, 10↦2, 8↦3, 12↦4, 7↦5, 13↦6, 2↦7, 16↦8,15↦9, 11↦10, 5↦11,
14↦12, 1↦13, 6↦14, 9↦15, 4↦16
Key Pattern 3 decryption (K3)
4↦1, 7↦2, 3↦3, 1↦4, 8↦5, 2↦6, 5↦7, 6↦8

Performing decryption using Keys 3

Key Pattern 3 decryption (K3)

4↦1, 7↦2, 3↦3, 1↦4, 8↦5, 2↦6, 5↦7, 6↦8

( I am going to use (_) as spaces between text.
