In a certain code, BANK is written as AZMJ and TALE is written as SZKD. What is the code for LAND?
- ANDLA
- BMBOE
- CJYLB
- DKZMC
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the shifting logic between the original words and their codes:
BANK → AZMJ
B−1=A
A−1=Z
N−1=M
K−1=J
TALE → SZKD
T−1=S
A−1=Z
L−1=K
E−1=D
The logic is that each letter is shifted backwards by 1 position (−1).
Applying the same logic to LAND:
L−1=K
A−1=Z
N−1=M
D−1=C
The code for LAND is KZMC.
