Question:

If TYPING is coded as UASMSM, how would you code SCREEN?

Options:

TJIUET

TEUIIS

TEUIKU

TEUIJT

Correct Answer:

TEUIJT

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → TEUIJT

The coding pattern adds an increasing integer starting from +1 for the first letter, +2 for the second, and so on up to +6 for the sixth letter (based on ASCII/alphabetic position).

For TYPING → UASMSM:

  • T (20th letter) +1 → U (21st)
  • Y (25th) +2 → A (1st, wrapping around the 26-letter alphabet: 27 → 1)
  • P (16th) +3 → S (19th)
  • I (9th) +4 → M (13th)
  • N (14th) +5 → S (19th)
  • G (7th) +6 → M (13th)

Applying the same to SCREEN:

  • S (19th) +1 → T (20th)
  • C (3rd) +2 → E (5th)
  • R (18th) +3 → U (21st)
  • E (5th) +4 → I (9th)
  • E (5th) +5 → J (10th)
  • N (14th) +6 → T (20th)

This yields TEUIJT, matching one of the options.
