In a certain code language, 'BUSHY' is written as 'CTTGZ' and 'COAST' is written as 'DNBRU'. How will 'DWELL' be written in that language?
- AEXFKN
- BEVFKM
- CEXFMN
- DEVGKM
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's study the transformation pattern for each letter using its alphabetical order position:
Word 1: BUSHY → CTTGZ
B+1=C
U−1=T
S+1=T
H−1=G
Y+1=Z
The pattern is alternating addition and subtraction: +1,−1,+1,−1,+1.
Let's verify with Word 2: COAST → DNBRU:
C+1=D
O−1=N
A+1=B
S−1=R
T+1=U
The pattern is confirmed. Now, let's apply it to DWELL:
D+1=E
W−1=V
E+1=F
L−1=K
L+1=M
The resulting code is EVFKM. This corresponds to Option B.
