In a certain code language, "MOBILE" is written as "OQDKNG". How is "RANGER" written in that code language?
- ATCPIGT
- BTCPGIT
- CTPCIGT
- DGTTCPT
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the coding pattern by comparing "MOBILE" with "OQDKNG" using alphabetical positions:
M(13)
+2
O(15)
O(15)
+2
Q(17)
B(2)
+2
D(4)
I(9)
+2
K(11)
L(12)
+2
N(14)
E(5)
+2
G(7)
The rule is that every letter is shifted forward by +2 positions.
Applying this rule to "RANGER":
R(18)
+2
T
A(1)
+2
C
N(14)
+2
P
G(7)
+2
I
E(5)
+2
G
R(18)
+2
T
Thus, "RANGER" is coded as "TCPIGT".
M(13)
