In a certain language, GATE is coded as FZSD, and PANT is coded as OZMS. How will BANK be coded in the same language?
- ACBOK
- BABKN
- CKNAB
- DAZMJ
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The pattern followed here is a backward shift of −1 for each letter in the word.
For GATE:
G−1=F
A−1=Z
T−1=S
E−1=D
So, GATE becomes FZSD.
For PANT:
P−1=O
A−1=Z
N−1=M
T−1=S
So, PANT becomes OZMS.
Applying the same logic for BANK:
B−1=A
A−1=Z
N−1=M
K−1=J
Thus, BANK is coded as AZMJ.
For GATE:
G−1=F

So, GATE becomes FZSD.
For PANT:
