In a certain code, TRAIN is written as SPXEI. How will CLOUD be written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → BJLQY
Compare each letter of TRAIN with the letter in the same place of the code: the letters move 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 places back; counting back from A continues from Z.
T to S (1 back), R to P (2 back), A to X (3 back: Z, Y, X), I to E (4 back), N to I (5 back)
C − 1 = B
L − 2 = J
O − 3 = L
U − 4 = Q
D − 5 = Y (C, B, A, Z, Y)
So CLOUD is written as BJLQY.
