In a certain code language, BORN is written as APQON and LACK is written as KBBLK. How will GRID be written in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → FSHED
The letters are moved 1 place back and 1 place forward in turn, and then the last letter of the word is written again at the end.
BORN: B to A (back 1), O to P (forward 1), R to Q (back 1), N to O (forward 1), then N: APQON
LACK: L to K, A to B, C to B, K to L, then K: KBBLK
GRID: G to F (back 1), R to S (forward 1), I to H (back 1), D to E (forward 1)
The last letter D is written at the end: FSHE + D
So GRID is written as FSHED.
