In a certain code language, 'PLIGHT' is written as 'JMQUIH'. How will 'CANDLE' be written in that langauge?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e OBDFME.
Positional values of English Alphabets:
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
| 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 |
| Z | Y | X | W | V | U | T | S | R | Q | P | O | N |
Code:
P L I G H T
J M Q U I H
This code can be divided into two equal parts. In both the parts 1st and 3rd letters are diagonally adjacent to each other in the alphabet series whereas letters in the 2nd position are adjacent to each other in the alphabet series.
Therefore, the same pattern is followed by OBDFME.
C A N D L E
O B D F M E
Thus option 2 is the correct answer.
