In a certain code language 'WHEAT' is written as 'AMIFX' and 'BLACK' is written as 'FQEHO'. How will 'GREASE' be written in the same code language?

  1. A
    KWIGWI
  2. B
    KWIFWJ
  3. C
    KWIFVJ
  4. D
    KWIFWI

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the logical pattern between the words and their codes.
Word: WHEAT
Code: AMIFX

Let's look at the positional changes (reversing the letter sequence or cross pattern shifts):

W
+4


A (since 23+4=27≡1=A)

H
+5


M (8+5=13=M)

E
+4


I (5+4=9=I)

A
+5


F (1+5=6=F)

T
+4


X (20+4=24=X)

So, the pattern is an alternating addition of +4,+5,+4,+5,+4 to the respective letter positions.

Let's verify with BLACK:

B
+4


F (2+4=6)

L
+5


Q (12+5=17)

A
+4


E (1+4=5)

C
+5


H (3+5=8)

K
+4


O (11+4=15)
This matches FQEHO.

Now, applying this pattern to GREASE:

G+4=7+4=11→K

R+5=18+5=23→W

E+4=5+4=9→I

A+5=1+5=6→F

S+4=19+4=23→W

E+5=5+5=10→J

Hence, the code for GREASE is KWIFWJ.
