Question:

In a certain code, ALPHABET is written as TEBAHPLA. How is DECIPHER written in that code?

Options:

REPHCIED

REPHICED

REIPHCED

REHPICED

Correct Answer:

REHPICED

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → REHPICED

To solve this, we need to look at how the word ALPHABET was transformed into TEBAHPLA.

1. Analyze the Code

If we look at the letters of the original word and the code side-by-side, the pattern becomes clear:

  • Original: A L P H A B E T
  • Code: T E B A H P L A

The word has been written completely in reverse order. The last letter becomes the first, the second-to-last becomes the second, and so on.

2. Apply the Pattern to DECIPHER

Now, we reverse the letters of DECIPHER:

  1. R (8th letter becomes 1st)
  2. E (7th becomes 2nd)
  3. H (6th becomes 3rd)
  4. P (5th becomes 4th)
  5. I (4th becomes 5th)
  6. C (3rd becomes 6th)
  7. E (2nd becomes 7th)
  8. D (1st becomes 8th)

Result: REHPICED

Correct Answer: REHPICED
