If ‘GOAT’ is coded as ‘TLZG’, then how will ‘MARBLES’ be coded?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → NZIYOVH
Each letter is replaced by its opposite letter in the alphabet (A with Z, B with Y, and so on); the places of a letter and its opposite add up to 27.
GOAT: G (7) to T (20), O (15) to L (12), A (1) to Z (26), T (20) to G (7): TLZG
M (13) to N (14), A (1) to Z (26)
R (18) to I (9), B (2) to Y (25)
L (12) to O (15), E (5) to V (22)
S (19) to H (8)
So MARBLES is coded as NZIYOVH.
