In a certain code language, 'FINE' is written as 'HKLC' and 'TOUR' is written as 'VQSP'. How will 'MILK ' be written in that language?
- AKGNM
- BKGJI
- COKNM
- DOKJI
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the relational pattern between the letters of the words and their codes:
FINE → HKLC
F (6) H (8)
I (9) G (Wait, the code has K, let's check: I (9) K (11))
N (14) L (12)
E (5) C (3)
Pattern: +2,+2,−2,−2
Let's test this pattern on TOUR → VQSP:
T (20) V (22)
O (15) Q (17)
U (21) S (19)
R (18) P (16)
Pattern +2,+2,−2,−2 is consistent.
Now apply this pattern to MILK:
M (13) O (15)
I (9) K (11)
L (12) J (10)
K (11) I (9)
Thus, MILK is written as OKJI.
