In a certain code language, 'LAND' is written as 'IWKZ' and 'GOLD' is written as 'DKIZ'. How will 'TEAM' be written in that same code language?
- AJXQB
- BXJQB
- CQAXI
- DQXJB
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the positional shifts from the letters of the word to the code:
For 'LAND' 'IWKZ':
*
* (Since )
*
* (Since )
The pattern is alternating subtraction: .
Let's verify with 'GOLD' 'DKIZ':
*
*
*
*
Applying the same pattern to 'TEAM':
*
*
*
*
Thus, 'TEAM' is written as 'QAXI'.
