In a code language, 'MERCURY' is written as 'NGUGXTZ'. How will 'JUPITER' be written in the same language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → KWSMWGS
Compare each letter of MERCURY with the letter in the same place of its code: the letters are moved forward by 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 places.
M + 1 = N, E + 2 = G, R + 3 = U, C + 4 = G
U + 3 = X, R + 2 = T, Y + 1 = Z
The same steps on JUPITER:
J + 1 = K, U + 2 = W, P + 3 = S, I + 4 = M
T + 3 = W, E + 2 = G, R + 1 = S
So JUPITER is written as KWSMWGS.
