In a certain code, MOUNTAIN is written as OVPNUBJO. How will SHOULDER be written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → VPITMEFS
Split the word into two halves of four letters. The first half is written in reverse, the second half is kept in order, and then every letter moves 1 place ahead.
MOUNTAIN: MOUN reversed is NUOM, and +1 gives OVPN
TAIN +1 gives UBJO, so the code is OVPNUBJO
SHOULDER: SHOU reversed is UOHS, and +1 gives VPIT
LDER +1 gives MEFS
So SHOULDER is written as VPITMEFS.
