In a certain code language, FORK is written as JKVG and COARSE is written as GKENWA. How will TERMITES be written in that language?

  1. A
    XAVIMXAO
  2. B
    XAVIMPIO
  3. C
    PIVIMPIW
  4. D
    YANIMPIO

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.
