In a code language, 'FOAG' is written as 'PGHB'. How will 'LAMB' be written as in that language?

  1. A
    BMCN
  2. B
    CNCM
  3. C
    BMDN
  4. D
    CMDN

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the relationship between the letters of the word 'FOAG' and its code 'PGHB' by reversing the order or checking a cross-pattern.
The pattern works by shifting letters in a reverse/cross manner:
Prepp

G+1=H

A+1=B

O+1=P

F+1=G
Rearranging the shifted letters to match the order:
The last two letters shifted by +1 become the first two letters of the code, and the first two letters shifted by +1 become the last two letters of the code.

For FOAG: First half FO → +1 → GP, Second half AG → +1 → BH.
Let's check the direct cross-connection:

F→G (placed at position 2)

O→P (placed at position 1)

A→B (placed at position 4)

G→H (placed at position 3)
So, FO → PG, AG → HB, giving PGHB.

Applying the same pattern to 'LAMB':

First half LA: L+1=M, A+1=B→ BM

Second half MB: M+1=N, B+1=C→ CN
Combining them gives BMCN.
