In a certain code language MOUSE is written as PRUQC. How is SHIFT written in that code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → VKIDR
Comparing each letter of MOUSE with the letter in the same place of PRUQC gives the shift for each position:
M → P and O → R: +3 each
U → U: no change in the middle
S → Q and E → C: −2 each
The same shifts on SHIFT:
S + 3 = V, H + 3 = K
I stays I
F − 2 = D, T − 2 = R
So SHIFT is written as VKIDR.
