In a certain code language, ‘DEVOUT’ is written as ‘FIXSWX’ and ‘BLAMED’ is written as ‘DPCQGH’. How will ‘SWEET’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., UAGIV.
Logic: adding 2 to the position of the first letter, 4 to the second, 2 to the third, 4 to the fourth, and so on, alternating between +2 and +4.
‘DEVOUT’ is written as ‘FIXSWX’
D + 2 = F, E + 4 = I, V + 2 = X, O + 4 = S, U + 2 = W, T + 4 = X
‘BLAMED’ is written as ‘DPCQGH’
B + 2 = D, L + 4 = P, A + 2 = C, M + 4 = Q, E + 2 = G, D + 4 = H
Similarly, ‘SWEET’ is written as ‘UAGIV’
S + 2 = U, W + 4 = A, E + 2 = G, E + 4 = I, T + 2 = V
