In a code language, 'BHOPAL' is coded as 'DKSUGS'. In the same language, 'FRIEND' will be coded as:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → HUMJTK
Each letter of BHOPAL is moved forward in the alphabet by a number that grows by one at every position, starting from 2:
B + 2 = D, H + 3 = K, O + 4 = S
P + 5 = U, A + 6 = G, L + 7 = S
The same steps applied to FRIEND:
F + 2 = H, R + 3 = U, I + 4 = M
E + 5 = J, N + 6 = T, D + 7 = K
So FRIEND is coded as HUMJTK.
