In a certain code language, 'PLOY' is written as 'QNRC' and 'DIRECT' is written as 'EKUIHZ'. How will 'GERMANY' be written in that language?
- AHGUQFTF
- BHGUQGSF
- CHGVPFTF
- DHGURFTG
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The pattern followed here involves shifting the letters forward or backward by an increasing sequence of integers: +1,+2,+3,+4,…
Let's check the positional values of the letters for 'PLOY' to 'QNRC':
P(+1)→Q
L(+2)→N
O(+3)→R
Y(+4)→C (since 25+4=29≡3, which is C)
Let's verify with 'DIRECT' to 'EKUIHZ':
D(+1)→E
I(+2)→K
R(+3)→U
E(+4)→I
C(+5)→H
T(+6)→Z
Applying the same logic to 'GERMANY':
G(+1)→H
E(+2)→G
R(+3)→U
M(+4)→Q
A(+5)→F
N(+6)→T
Y(+7)→F (since 25+7=32≡6, which is F)
Thus, 'GERMANY' is written as HGUQFTF.
