If LEGACY in a certain language is coded OVTZXB, then how will the word GRASP be written in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → TIZHK
Each letter is replaced by its opposite letter in the alphabet, the one at the same place counted from the other end (A ↔ Z, B ↔ Y, C ↔ X, ...). The positions of a letter and its opposite always add up to 27.
LEGACY: L(12) → O(15), E(5) → V(22), G(7) → T(20), A(1) → Z(26), C(3) → X(24), Y(25) → B(2), giving OVTZXB as given
GRASP: G(7) → T(20), R(18) → I(9), A(1) → Z(26), S(19) → H(8), P(16) → K(11), giving TIZHK
Tip: When every letter of the code word sits as far from Z as the original sits from A, it is the opposite-letter code; find each partner as 27 minus the letter's position.
