Question
In a certain code 'LIMCA' is written as 'HJLDZ'. Which of the following words is written as 'EOCJZ'?
- H O N D U S
- INDIA
- JAPAN
- MEXICO
- MIDNIGHT
Solution
The code appears to be a simple substitution cipher where each letter in the original word is shifted two places to the left in the alphabet.
To decode 'EOCJZ', we shift each letter two places to the right:
E -> G O -> Q C -> E J -> L Z -> B
So, 'EOCJZ' decodes to 'GQELB'.
None of the provided options (H O N D U, SINDIA, JAPAN, MEXICO, MIDNIGHT) match this result. Therefore, the answer is none of the above.
