In a certain code language "GASTRIC" is written as "UCIREKT". How will "DECEIVE" be written in that code language?

  1. A
    ACBCCTG
  2. B
    ACACCTG
  3. C
    EGFCGXK
  4. D
    BFCCTGL

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.
