Back to paper

In a certain code language, 'PENCIL' is written as 'MKFRJV' and 'ERASER' is written as 'SGVEWK'. How will 'MASTER' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. SGWWFS.

The logic used here is:

'PENCIL' is written as 'MKFRJV'

P + 6 = V

E + 5 = K

N + 4 = R

C + 3 = F

I + 2 = K

L + 1 = M

PENCIL = MKFRV

Similarly,

Code for the word MASTER:

M + 6 = S

A + 5 = F

S + 4 = W

T + 3 = W

E + 2 = G

R + 1 = S

MASTER = SGWWFS

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
