Question:

In a certain code language, “ABROAD” is written as “BDUNYA”, and “BECAME” is written as “CGFZKB”. How will “CANCER” be written in that language?

Options:

DQCBCO

DCQOBC

DCQCBO

DCQBCO

Correct Answer:

DCQBCO

Explanation:

1   2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

 

The logic here is;

A(1) +1 = B

B(2) +2 = D

R(8) +3 = U

O(15) -1 = N

A(1) -2 = Y

D(4) -3 = A

And,

B(1) +1 = C

E(5) +2 = G

C(3) +3 = F

A(1) -1 = Z

M(13) -2 = K

E(5) -3 = B

Similarly,

C(3) +1 = D

A(1) +2 = C

N(14) +3 = Q

C(3) -1 = B

E(5) -2 = C

R(18) -3 = O

Thus, DCQBCO is correct.
