In a certain code, WONDERFUL is written as VPMEEQGTM. How will AUTHORITY be written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → ZVSIOQJSZ
The middle (fifth) letter stays; on each side of it the letters are moved 1 back and 1 forward in turn, starting with 1 back.
WOND: W to V, O to P, N to M, D to E: VPME
E (middle) stays E
RFUL: R to Q, F to G, U to T, L to M: QGTM
AUTH: A to Z, U to V, T to S, H to I: ZVSI
O (middle) stays O
RITY: R to Q, I to J, T to S, Y to Z: QJSZ
So AUTHORITY is written as ZVSIOQJSZ.
