In a code language, 'ELASTCY' is coded as 'GNCSVEA' and 'VIRTUAL' is coded as 'XKTTWCN'. How will 'TANGLED' be coded in the same language?
- AVCQGNGF
- BVCPGNGF
- CVCPGMGE
- DVCPGMGF
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.
ELASTCY → GNCSVEA

A+2=C
S−0=S ? Let's check alternative pattern:
E(5)→G(7)=+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.
