In a code language, ‘YHJR’ is coded as ‘ZGKQ’ and ‘IOLS’ is coded as ‘JNMR’. What is the code for ‘HOLE’?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → INMD
The letters are moved 1 forward and 1 back in turn: the first and third letters go one place forward, the second and fourth one place back.
YHJR: Y to Z, H to G, J to K, R to Q: ZGKQ
IOLS: I to J, O to N, L to M, S to R: JNMR
HOLE: H to I, O to N, L to M, E to D
So HOLE is coded as INMD.
