In a code language, 'ELASTCY' is coded as 'GNCSVEA' and 'VIRTUAL' is coded as 'XKTTWCN'. How will 'TANGLED' be coded in the same language?

  1. A
    VCQGNGF
  2. B
    VCPGNGF
  3. C
    VCPGMGE
  4. D
    VCPGMGF

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check the pattern by comparing the positional values of the letters:
ELASTCY → GNCSVEA

E+2=G

L+2=N

A+2=C

S−0=S ? Let's check alternative pattern:

E(5)→G(7)=+2

L(12)→N(14)=+2

A(1)→C(3)=+2

S(19)→V(22)=+3

T(20)→V(22)=+2

C(3)→E(5)=+2

Y(25)→A(1)=+2
Wait, let's check the fourth letter: S→S is not there, it's coded as GNCSVEA.
Let's align them properly:
E L A S T C Y
G N CS V E A

E+2=G

L+2=N

A+2=C

S→S (+0)

T+2=V

C+2=E

Y+2=A

Let's check if the same logic applies to VIRTUAL → XKTTWCN:
V I R T U A L
X K T T W C N

V+2=X

I+2=K

R+2=T

T→T (+0)

U+2=W

A+2=C

L+2=N

So, the pattern is +2,+2,+2,+0,+2,+2,+2.

Applying this to TANGLED:

T+2=V

A+2=C

N+2=P

G+0=G

L+2=N

E+2=G

D+2=F

Thus, the code is VCPGNGF.
