In a certain code language, ‘MOBILES’ is written as ‘N12Y18O22H’ and ‘VEHICLE’ is written as ‘E22S18X15V’. How will ‘NEUTRON’ be written in the same code language?

  1. A
    M22G712M
  2. B
    M22F7I12M
  3. C
    M22F8L12M
  4. D
    M23F7L13M

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the coding pattern for MOBILES → N12Y18O22H:
The letters are alternatively converted to opposite letters or positional numbers/transformed values.

Let's look closely at consonants and vowels:

M (Consonant) → N (Opposite letter)

O (Vowel) → 12 (Opposite letter's positional value: O↔L=12)

B (Consonant) → Y (Opposite letter)

I (Vowel) → 18 (Opposite letter's positional value: I↔R=18)

L (Consonant) → O (Opposite letter)

E (Vowel) → 22 (Opposite letter's positional value: E↔V=22)

S (Consonant) → H (Opposite letter)

Wow, the rule is:

Consonants are replaced by their opposite alphabet letter.

Vowels are replaced by the positional value of their opposite alphabet letter.

Let's cross-verify with VEHICLE → E22S18X15V:

V (Consonant) → E (Opposite)

E (Vowel) → 22 (Opposite is V = 22)

H (Consonant) → S (Opposite)

I (Vowel) → 18 (Opposite is R = 18)

C (Consonant) → X (Opposite)

L (Consonant) → O? Wait, in VEHICLE → E22S18X15V:
Let's count positions:
V → E
E → 22
H → S
I → 18
C → X
L → 15 (Opposite of L is O = 15) -> Ah! Here L is treated with its opposite number 15!
E → V (Opposite letter)

Let's look at the alternate positions instead of vowel/consonant:
Positions in MOBILES (7 letters):

M → N (Opposite Letter)

O → 12 (Opposite Value)

B → Y (Opposite Letter)

I → 18 (Opposite Value)

L → O (Opposite Letter)

E → 22 (Opposite Value)

S → H (Opposite Letter)
This perfectly matches Alternate position logic: Odd positions = Opposite Letter, Even positions = Opposite Number.

Let's verify VEHICLE (7 letters) with this alternate position logic:

V (Odd) → E (Opposite Letter)

E (Even) → 22 (Opposite Value)

H (Odd) → S (Opposite Letter)

I (Even) → 18 (Opposite Value)

C (Odd) → X (Opposite Letter)

L (Even) → 15 (Opposite Value)

E (Odd) → V (Opposite Letter)
This perfectly matches the pattern!

Now let's apply this to NEUTRON (7 letters):

N (Odd) → Opposite Letter = M

E (Even) → Opposite Value of E (V) = 22

U (Odd) → Opposite Letter of U = F

T (Even) → Opposite Value of T (G) = 7

R (Odd) → Opposite Letter of R = I

O (Even) → Opposite Value of O (L) = 12

N (Odd) → Opposite Letter of N = M

Combining them, we get: M22F7I12M.
