In a certain code language, 'CHILD' is written as 'YTSPX' and 'ADULT' is written as 'AXGPH'. How will 'YOUNG' be written in that language?
- ACNGNU
- BCMGNV
- CCMGMV
- DCMGNU
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's look at the positional values for 'CHILD' → 'YTSPX':
C(3), H(8), I(9), L(12), D(4)
Y(25), T(20), S(19), P(16), X(24)
Let's look at the reverse pairs (opposite letters):
C → X, H → S, I → R, L → O, D → W
Now compare these opposite letters to the code 'YTSPX':
X + 1 = Y
S + 1 = T
R + 1 = S
O + 1 = P
W + 1 = X
So the logic is: Opposite letter + 1.
Let's check 'ADULT' → 'AXGPH':
Opposite of A is Z → Z + 1 = A
Opposite of D is W → W + 1 = X
Opposite of U is F → F + 1 = G
Opposite of L is O → O + 1 = P
Opposite of T is G → G + 1 = H
The logic is perfectly verified.
Now apply it to 'YOUNG':
Opposite of Y is B → B + 1 = C
Opposite of O is L → L + 1 = M
Opposite of U is F → F + 1 = G
Opposite of N is M → M + 1 = N
Opposite of G is T → T + 1 = U
Thus, 'YOUNG' is written as CMGNU.

Thus, 'YOUNG' is written as CMGNU.
