In a certain code, 'GARB' is written as 'HEAR'. How will 'DROP' be written in that code?
- AEWXF
- BEUWG
- CEUXG
- DEVXF
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's examine the shift logic for each letter in 'GARB' 'HEAR' using alphabetical position values:
*
*
* or looking at reverse positions/vowels, let's look at numerical difference:
*
Notice the shifting sequence values are squares of consecutive integers: . Let's verify:
*
*
*
*
Applying the exact same square addition logic () to 'DROP':
*
*
*
*
Thus, 'DROP' becomes 'EVXF'.
