In a certain code, SACK is coded as RZBJ, then how is AMOUNT coded in the same way?
- AZLNSMT
- BZLNMTS
- CZLTNMS
- DZLNTMS
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the logic used to code the word SACK into RZBJ:
S−1=R
A−1=Z
C−1=B
K−1=J
The pattern is to subtract 1 (the immediate previous letter in alphabetical order) from each letter of the word.
Applying the same logic to AMOUNT:
A−1=Z
M−1=L
O−1=N
U−1=T
M−1=L (Wait, the letter is N in AMOUNT: N−1=M)
T−1=S
Let's double-check each letter of A-M-O-U-N-T:
A→Z
M→L
O→N
U→T
N→M
T→S
Combining these gives ZLNTMS.
