Back to paper

In a certain code language, 'MAYOR’ is written as 'WSBCN', and 'MARCH' is written as  'MGUCN'. How will 'ISSUE' be written in that language? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. JYVUJ.

The logic used here is:

'MAYOR’ is written as 'WSBCN'

First, reverse the code.

MAYOR = NCBSW

M + 1 = N

A + 2 = C

Y + 3 = B

O + 4 = S

R + 5 = W

'MARCH' is written as  'MGUCN'

M + 1 = N

A + 2 = C

R + 3 = U

C + 4 = G

H + 5 = M

Similarly;

Code for the word ISSUE:

I + 1 = J

S + 2 = U

S + 3 = V

U + 4 = Y

E + 5 = J

ISSUE = JYVUJ

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
