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

The correct answer is Option (4) → TEUIJT

In a coding question, the rule is first found on the given word and then applied to the new word. Comparing TYPING with UASMSM letter by letter shows that the letters move forward by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 places in turn (after Z the count goes on from A):

• T + 1 = U, Y + 2 = A, P + 3 = S, I + 4 = M, N + 5 = S, G + 6 = M

Applying the same rule to SCREEN:

• S + 1 = T, C + 2 = E, R + 3 = U, E + 4 = I, E + 5 = J, N + 6 = T

• So SCREEN is coded as TEUIJT
