In a certain code language, ‘TEDIOUS’ is written as ‘HAMKWPY’. How will ‘PROFUSE’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. IBSLVOY.
The logic used here is:
‘TEDIOUS’ is written as ‘HAMKWPY’
First, arrange the word TEDIOUS in alphabetical order.
TEDIOUS = DEIOSTU
D + 4 = H
E - 4 = A
I + 4 = M
O - 4 = K
S + 4 = W
T - 4 = P
U + 4 = Y
Similarly;
Code for the word PROFUSE’:
PROFUSE = EFOPRSU
E + 4 = I
F - 4 = B
O + 4 = S
P - 4 = L
R + 4 = V
S - 4 = O
U + 4 = Y
PROFUSE = IBSLVOY
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
