In a certain code, BASIC is written as DDULE. How is LEADER written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → NHCGGU
Each letter is moved forward in the alphabet, by 2 and 3 places in turn. The rule is read off the given word:
B (2) → D (4): +2; A (1) → D (4): +3; S (19) → U (21): +2; I (9) → L (12): +3; C (3) → E (5): +2
Applying +2, +3, +2, +3, +2, +3 to LEADER:
L + 2 = N, E + 3 = H, A + 2 = C, D + 3 = G, E + 2 = G, R + 3 = U, giving NHCGGU
