If PRIMATE is coded as MOFJXQB, then how will COW be coded as?
✓ Correct answer: a) ZLT
ExplanationAccording to the question : PRIMATE is coded as MOFJXQB It has been coded with some logic and we have to find it and code COW using the same logic.Logic : Subtraction of 3 from the place value of each letter of the first word = letters of the second word.PRIMATE coded as MOFJXQB P = 16 and 16 - 3 = 13 i.e, M R = 18 and 18 - 3 = 15 i.e, O I = 9 and 9 - 3 = 6 i.e, F M = 13 and 13 - 3 = 10 i.e, J A= 1 and 1 - 3 = -2 = 0 - 2 = 26 - 2 i.e, X ( As Reversing 2 steps from A means last letter of alphabetical series i.e, 26 ) | | SSC T = 20 and 20 - 3 = 17 i.e, Q E = 5 and 5 - 3 = 2 i.e, B COW coded as ?C = 3 and 3 - 3 = 0 = 26 i.e, Z ( As Reversing 1 step from A means last letter of alphabetical series i.e, 26 ) O = 15 and 15 - 3 = 12 i.e, L W = 23 and 23- 3 = 20 i.e, T So , the code for COW is ZLT .Hence , “ ZLT “ is the correct answer.
