If AMAZON is coded as ZNZALM, then how word FLIPKART will be coded as?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → UORKPZIG
Each letter of AMAZON is replaced by its opposite letter in the alphabet (A with Z, B with Y, and so on); the positions of a letter and its opposite add up to 27.
Rule on the given word: A(1) → Z(26), M(13) → N(14), A → Z, Z → A, O(15) → L(12), N(14) → M(13), giving ZNZALM
FLIPKART: F(6) → U(21), L(12) → O(15), I(9) → R(18), P(16) → K(11)
K(11) → P(16), A(1) → Z(26), R(18) → I(9), T(20) → G(7)
Code: UORKPZIG
Tip: The opposite of a letter is at position 27 minus its position; pairs such as A-Z, M-N and L-O are worth knowing by heart.
