In a certain code language, ‘ACUTE’ is written as ‘EXAYI’, and ‘SPEND’ is written as ‘XUISW’. How will ‘BLAME’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. YQERI.
Logic:
1. Vowels are coded as next vowel
2. Consonats: Single digit positional value = opposite letter, double digit = positioaln value + 5
‘ACUTE’ is written as ‘EXAYI’ → A = E, C(3) ⇔ X, U = A, T(20) + 5 = Y, E = I
‘SPEND’ is written as ‘XUISW’ → S(19) + 5 = X, P(16) + 5 = U, E = I, N(14) + 5 = S, D(4) ⇔ W
Similarly, ‘BLAME’ will be written as → B(2) ⇔ Y, L(12) + 5 = Q, A = E, M(13) + 5 = R, E = I
