In a certain code language, 'HAPREB' is written as 'IEUQAW', and 'GBCDFA' is written as 'HFHCBV'. How will 'QRPLAC' be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RVUKWX.
The logic used here is:
HAPREB' is written as 'IEUQAW'
H + 1 = I
A + 4 = E
P + 5 = U
R - 1 = Q
E - 4 = A
B - 5 = W
'GBCDFA' is written as 'HFHCBV'
G + 1 = H
B + 4 = F
C + 5 = H
D - 1 = C
F - 4 = B
A - 5 = V
Similarly,
Code for the word QRPLAC:
Q + 1 = R
R + 4 = V
P + 5 = U
L - 1 = K
A - 4 = W
C - 5 = X
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
