In a certain code language, 'NORMAL' is written as 'LMPOCN' and 'PEOPLE' is written as 'NCMRNG'. How will 'MOMENT' be written in that language?
- AKNKGPU
- BKMKGPV
- CLMLGPV
- DKMKHPU
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's investigate the pattern for 'NORMAL' → 'LMPOCN':
Let's check the changes term by term or in alternate pairs:
N→L(−2)
O→M(−2)
R→P(−2)
M→O(+2)
A→C(+2)
L→N(+2)
So the first 3 letters are shifted by −2, and the last 3 letters are shifted by +2.
Let's check 'PEOPLE' → 'NCMRNG':
P−2=N
E−2=C
O−2=M
P+2=R
L+2=N
E+2=G
The pattern is confirmed.
Now apply this to 'MOMENT':
M−2=K
O−2=M
M−2=K
E+2=G
N+2=P
T+2=V
The resulting code is KMKGPV.
