In a certain code language, VEGETABLE is written as FMCBUFHFW. How is ARSENAL written in that code language?
- AMBGLECT
- BMBOFTSB
- CBGKMORC
- DOBCSKLM
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the logic behind coding VEGETABLE to FMCBUFHFW:
If we write the word VEGETABLE in completely reverse order, it becomes: ELBATAGEV.
Now, shift each letter of this reversed word forward by :
* E (+1) F
* L (+1) M
* B (+1) C
* A (+1) B
* T (+1) U
* A (+1) F (Wait, let's verify direct correlation from the last letter: V+1=W, E+1=F, G+1=H, E+1=F, T+1=U, A+1=B, B+1=C, L+1=M, E+1=F)
So, the correct pattern is: Reverse the entire word and add to each letter.
Reversing ARSENAL gives: LANESRA.
Now, add to each letter:
* L (+1) M
* A (+1) B
* N (+1) O
* E (+1) F
* S (+1) T
* R (+1) S
* A (+1) B
Thus, the code is MBOFTSB.
