If in a certain code, ALMIRAH is written as BNPMWGO, which would be written as DNRWLUA?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → CLOSGOT
The code is found by comparing each letter of ALMIRAH with the letter under it in BNPMWGO. Each letter moves forward by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 places in turn:
A (1) → B (2), +1; L (12) → N (14), +2; M (13) → P (16), +3; I (9) → M (13), +4
R (18) → W (23), +5; A (1) → G (7), +6; H (8) → O (15), +7
DNRWLUA is a coded word, so it is decoded by moving each letter back by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 places:
D − 1 = C, N − 2 = L, R − 3 = O, W − 4 = S
L − 5 = G, U − 6 = O, A − 7 = T (counting back past A from the end of the alphabet: Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T)
So DNRWLUA is the code of CLOSGOT.
