If in a certain language 'EDITION' is written as 'FCJSJNO', how is 'RANKING' written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → SZOJJMH
Each letter is moved alternately one place forward and one place back in the alphabet, starting with forward.
The rule on EDITION:
E +1 → F, D −1 → C, I +1 → J, T −1 → S
I +1 → J, O −1 → N, N +1 → O
The same rule on RANKING:
R +1 → S, A −1 → Z (one place back from A goes round to Z), N +1 → O, K −1 → J
I +1 → J, N −1 → M, G +1 → H
So RANKING is written as SZOJJMH.
