In a certain code language, FORK is written as JKVG and COARSE is written as GKENWA. How will TERMITES be written in that language?
- AXAVIMXAO
- BXAVIMPIO
- CPIVIMPIW
- DYANIMPIO
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the pattern by looking at the positional values of the letters:
Case 1: FORK → JKVG
F(6)+4=J(10)
O(15)−4=K(11)
R(18)+4=V(22)
K(11)−4=G(7)
The pattern is alternating +4,−4,+4,−4.
Case 2: COARSE → GKENWA
C(3)+4=G(7)
O(15)−4=K(11)
A(1)+4=E(5)
R(18)−4=N(14)
S(19)+4=W(23)
E(5)−4=A(1)
The pattern +4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4 is confirmed.
Applying the same logic to TERMITES:
T(20)+4=X(24)
E(5)−4=A(1)
R(18)+4=V(22)
I(9)−4=E(5) (Note: Looking at options, let's re-verify the middle letters sequence carefully. If we test M(13)+4=Q, but let's check options matching XAVIMPIO: T→X, E→A, R→V, M→I, I→M, T→P, E→I, S→O.)
Let's check the alternative cross-coding or position-based logic:
Divide TERMITES into pairs or halves:
Let's check Option B: XAVIMPIO
T(20)→X(24) (+4)
E(5)→A(1) (−4)
R(18)→V(22) (+4)
M(13)→I(9) (−4)
I(9)→M(13) (+4)
T(20)→P(16) (−4)
E(5)→I(9) (+4)
S(19)→O(15) (−4)
Thus, the exact sequential operation +4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4 on TERMITES yields XAVIMPIO.
Case 1: FORK → JKVG
F(6)+4=J(10)
O(15)−4=K(11)
R(18)+4=V(22)
K(11)−4=G(7)
The pattern is alternating +4,−4,+4,−4.
Case 2: COARSE → GKENWA
C(3)+4=G(7)
O(15)−4=K(11)
A(1)+4=E(5)
R(18)−4=N(14)
S(19)+4=W(23)
E(5)−4=A(1)
The pattern +4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4 is confirmed.
Applying the same logic to TERMITES:
T(20)+4=X(24)
E(5)−4=A(1)
R(18)+4=V(22)
I(9)−4=E(5) (Note: Looking at options, let's re-verify the middle letters sequence carefully. If we test M(13)+4=Q, but let's check options matching XAVIMPIO: T→X, E→A, R→V, M→I, I→M, T→P, E→I, S→O.)
Let's check the alternative cross-coding or position-based logic:
Divide TERMITES into pairs or halves:

T(20)→X(24) (+4)
E(5)→A(1) (−4)
R(18)→V(22) (+4)
M(13)→I(9) (−4)
I(9)→M(13) (+4)
T(20)→P(16) (−4)
E(5)→I(9) (+4)
S(19)→O(15) (−4)
Thus, the exact sequential operation +4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4,+4,−4 on TERMITES yields XAVIMPIO.
