In a certain language, "MONDAY" is written as "PNEOZB". How will "MAKING" be written in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → BNJLHO
The rule is found on MONDAY first: every letter moves one step forward in the alphabet, and then the letters are taken in pairs and the two letters of each pair change places.
MONDAY one step forward: NPOEBZ
Pairs NP, OE, BZ swapped: PN, EO, ZB, so MONDAY becomes PNEOZB, as given
The same rule on MAKING:
MAKING one step forward: NBLJOH
Pairs NB, LJ, OH swapped: BN, JL, HO
MAKING becomes BNJLHO
