Logical Reasoning Question on Coding Decoding

Question

If 'EFGHUK' is the coded letter representing 'VUTSRQP', then choose the right code for the words given in the capital letters from the answer choices (1), (2), (3) and (4):
ZERO

Answer 1

Solution

The correct option is (C): AVIL
Explanation: To decode "ZERO" using the same logic as before, let's break it down step-by-step:

Identify the Coding Pattern: From the earlier example, we noted a backward shift in the alphabet.

Decode Each Letter in "ZERO":

Z : Looking at the pattern, Z (26) would likely move to A (1).
E : From the previous coding, E corresponds to V.
R : Following the backward pattern, R (18) would move to I (9).
O : O (15) moves to L (12).

Combine the Results: Putting it all together:

Z → A
E → V
R → I
O → L

Thus, "ZERO" is coded as "AVIL", which corresponds to option C.

So, the correct answer is indeed C: AVIL.
