In a certain code language, 'JOVIAL' is written as 'QIECZF' and 'TENDER' is written as 'GYMXVL'. How will 'STRING' be written in that language?

  1. A
    HGIRMT
  2. B
    MNLCHA
  3. C
    HNICMA
  4. D
    HIGRMT

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the transformation pattern between the word JOVIAL and its code QIECZF:
Let's find the pairs of opposite letters:

J ↔ Q (1st letter maps directly to its opposite)

O ↔ L (not I)
Let's check the letters of the code QIECZF directly with positions:

J (10) → opposite is Q (17).

O (15) → opposite is L (12). To get I (9): 12−3=9.

V (22) → opposite is E (5).

I (9) → opposite is R (18). To get C (3): 18−15=3?

Let's look at another elegant rule:
Let's take the opposite letters of the word JOVIAL:

J → Q

O → L

V → E

I → R

A → Z

L → O
Opposite cluster = QLERZO.
Now let's compare QLERZO with the code QIECZF:

Q → Q (remains same)

L (-3) → I

E (remains same) → E? No, the code is Q I E C Z F.
Let's check:

1st letter: Q (opposite of J)

2nd letter: I (opposite of R? No, opposite of O is L, L−3=I)

3rd letter: E (opposite of V)

4th letter: C (opposite of X? No, opposite of I is R, R…)

Let's check the second word TENDER → GYMXVL:
Let's write opposites of TENDER:

T → G

E → V

N → M

D → W

E → V

R → I
Opposite cluster = GVMWVI.
Compare with code GYMXVL:

G → G

V (+3) → Y

M → M

W (+1) → X

V → L?

Let's look closely at Option A and Option D: HGIRMT vs HIGRMT.
Notice that for STRING:

S → opposite is H

T → opposite is G

R → opposite is I

I → opposite is R

N → opposite is M

G → opposite is T
The exact opposite cluster of STRING is HGIRMT. This matches Option A perfectly!
