In a certain code language, 'ACUMEN' is written as 'QBPRFX'. How will 'CENSURE' be written in that language?

  1. A
    CORPKBZ
  2. B
    HOXPQBF
  3. C
    CURVKHZ
  4. D
    HUXVQHF

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's examine the transformation pattern from ACUMEN to QBPRFX by grouping or cross-shifting letters:Split the 6-letter word ACUMEN into two halves: ACU and MEN.Let's look at the cross mapping between the two halves:A (1) + 15 = P (4th letter of code)? No.Let's reverse the entire word ACUMEN N, E, M, U, C, A.N (+3) QE (-3) BM (+3) PU (-3) RC (+3) FA (-3) X (since , which is X)Wow! The pattern is: Reverse the entire word, and apply alternating shifts of and .Let's check the sequence:1st letter from end: N + 3 = Q2nd letter from end: E - 3 = B3rd letter from end: M + 3 = P4th letter from end: U - 3 = R5th letter from end: C + 3 = F6th letter from end: A - 3 = XThis matches QBPRFX perfectly!Now let's apply this exact rule (Reverse word, then ) to CENSURE:The word reversed is: E, R, U, S, N, E, CE + 3 = HR - 3 = OU + 3 = XS - 3 = PN + 3 = QE - 3 = BC + 3 = FCombining these letters yields HOXPQBF.
