In a certain code language, MINUTE is written as QMRYXI. How will SECOND be written in the same code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → WIGSRH
Compare each letter of MINUTE with the letter below it in the code: every letter is moved 4 places forward in the alphabet.
M (13) to Q (17), I (9) to M (13), N (14) to R (18), U (21) to Y (25), T (20) to X (24), E (5) to I (9): QMRYXI
S (19) to W (23)
E (5) to I (9)
C (3) to G (7)
O (15) to S (19)
N (14) to R (18)
D (4) to H (8)
So SECOND is written as WIGSRH.
