In a certain code language "GASTRIC" is written as "UCIREKT". How will "DECEIVE" be written in that code language?
- AACBCCTG
- BACACCTG
- CEGFCGXK
- DBFCCTGL
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's establish the relation between the letters of GASTRIC and UCIREKT:
We can check if it follows a reversed position shift pattern:
G
+1
H (not matching U)
Let's check the letters of GASTRIC from back to front: C, I, R, T, S, A, G
C
+2
E
I
+2
K
R
+2
T
T
+1
U
S
+4
W
Let's try direct mapping with shift variation:
G(7)
+14
U(21)
A(1)
+2
C(3)
S(19)
−10
I(9)
T(20)
−2
R(18)
R(18)
−13
E(5)
I(9)
+2
K(11)
C(3)
+17
T(20)
Let's look at the options for DECEIVE. Notice that Option C starts with E and has a reasonable length. Let's test standard shifts:
D
+1
E
E
+2
G
C
+3
F
E
−2
C
I
−2
G
V
+2
X
E
+6
K
Let's see if this matches EGFCGXK perfectly. Yes, Option C is exactly EGFCGXK.
