In a certain code language, JUMP is coded as "HRIK" and WOLF is coded as "ULHA". How will FOWL be coded in that language?
- AHLSG
- BALSG
- CDLSG
- DFLSG
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the shift pattern for each letter:
First word: JUMP → HRIK
J(10)−2=8→H
U(21)−3=18→R
M(13)−4=9→I
P(16)−5=11→K
The pattern is −2,−3,−4,−5.
Second word: WOLF → ULHA
W(23)−2=21→U
O(15)−3=12→L
L(12)−4=8→H
F(6)−5=1→A
This confirms the exact pattern of decreasing shifts.
Applying the pattern to FOWL:
F(6)−2=4→D
O(15)−3=12→L
W(23)−4=19→S
L(12)−5=7→G
The coded word is DLSG.
