In a code language, 'FOAG' is written as 'PGHB'. How will 'LAMB' be written as in that language?
- ABMCN
- BCNCM
- CBMDN
- DCMDN
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.
