In a certain code language, "PRIME" is written as "VNRIK". How is "MICRO" written in that code language?
- ALIXRN
- BNRILV
- CVPQAN
- DNPVQR
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us inspect the pattern between "PRIME" and its coded counterpart "VNRIK".
If we reverse the word "PRIME", we get "EMIRP".
Now, let us find the opposite pairs (pairs that sum up to 27 in standard alphabetical positions) for "EMIRP":
E↔V
M↔N
I↔R
R↔I
P↔K
This gives VNRIK.
Now let us apply the exact same logic to MICRO:
Reverse the word: ORCIM
Find the opposite pairs for each letter:
O↔L
R↔I
C↔X
I↔R
M↔N
The resulting coded word is LIXRN.
