Question : Directions: In a certain code language, SPICEY is written as ELOUAY, and PONDER is written as JKLNAZ. How is HOUSED written in that code language?
Option 1: QKDZAO
Option 2: GNTRDC
Option 3: WQJFGU
Option 4: DKQAOZ
Correct Answer: QKDZAO
Solution :
Given:
SPICEY is written as ELOUAY, and PONDER is written as JKLNAZ.
Divide the word SPICEY into two equal parts, i.e., (SPI) and (CEY), and then subtract 4 from each letter to get the required code –
Thus, SPICEY is coded as ELOUAY.
Likewise, divide the word PONDER into two equal parts, i.e., (PON) and (DER), and then subtract 4 from each letter to get the required code –
Thus, PONDER is coded as JKLNAZ.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HOUSED –
Thus, HOUSED is coded as QKDZAO. Hence, the first option is correct.
