In a certain code, ALPHABET is written as TEBAHPLA. How is DECIPHER written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → REHPICED
In a coding question, the rule is first found on the given word and then applied to the new word. Writing ALPHABET and its code letter by letter shows that the code is the word written in reverse order:
ALPHABET: A, L, P, H, A, B, E, T
Read from the last letter to the first: T, E, B, A, H, P, L, A = TEBAHPLA, which is the given code
Applying the same rule to DECIPHER:
DECIPHER: D, E, C, I, P, H, E, R
Read from the last letter to the first: R, E, H, P, I, C, E, D = REHPICED
