Question
In a certain code language,
‘PINKY’ is coded as ‘XZJLMOHJOQ’.
How will ‘VANDY’ be coded in that language?
Solution
The code seems to be a pattern where each letter in the word is replaced by two letters - the next letter in the alphabet and the letter two places ahead in the alphabet.
Let's break it down:
-
P -> XZ: P is the 16th letter of the alphabet. The next letter is Q (17th) and the letter two places ahead is R (18th). In the code, Q is represented by X and R is represented by Z.
-
I -> JL: I is the 9th letter of the alphabet. The next letter is J (10th) and the letter two places ahead is K (11th). In the code, J is represented by J and K is represented by L.
-
N -> MO: N is the 14th letter of the alphabet. The next letter is O (15th) and the letter two places ahead is P (16th). In the code, O is represented by M and P is represented by O.
-
K -> HJ: K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. The next letter is L (12th) and the letter two places ahead is M (13th). In the code, L is represented by H and M is represented by J.
-
Y -> OQ: Y is the 25th letter of the alphabet. The next letter is Z (26th) and the letter two places ahead is A (1st). In the code, Z is represented by O and A is represented by Q.
So, using the same pattern, 'VANDY' would be coded as:
- V -> YB
- A -> CQ
- N -> MO
- D -> FU
- Y -> OQ
So, 'VANDY' is coded as 'YBCQMOFUOQ' in that language.
