If PLASTIC is written as MBTUJDQ, how can CANDLE be written in the same code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → BOEMFD
The code starts with M, the letter after L, and ends with Q, the letter after P: the first letter is moved to the end, and then every letter moves 1 place ahead.
PLASTIC with P moved to the end: LASTICP
Each letter +1: L to M, A to B, S to T, T to U, I to J, C to D, P to Q: MBTUJDQ
CANDLE with C moved to the end: ANDLEC
Each letter +1: A to B, N to O, D to E, L to M, E to F, C to D
So CANDLE is written as BOEMFD.
