If NAUGHTY is coded as MZFTSGB, then how will LIE be coded as?
- AAEI
- BJNR
- CSWA
- DORV
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relationship between each letter of NAUGHTY and its code MZFTSGB using pairs of opposite letters (where the sum of their positions in the alphabet is ):
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
The logic is substituting each letter with its exact opposite letter in the alphabet sequence. Applying this same pattern to the word LIE:
* (Opposite letter, )
* (Opposite letter, )
* (Opposite letter, )
Thus, LIE is coded as ORV.
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
* (Opposite pair)
The logic is substituting each letter with its exact opposite letter in the alphabet sequence. Applying this same pattern to the word LIE:
* (Opposite letter, )
* (Opposite letter, )
* (Opposite letter, )
Thus, LIE is coded as ORV.
