In a certain code language, 'AFPQV' is written as 'CITVB' and 'DLNPG' is written as 'FORUM'. How will 'LNAGK' be written in that language?

ANQEQL

BNQQLQ

CNQELQ

DQNEPK

Answer:

C. NQELQ

Read Explanation:

'LNAGK' will be written as 'NQELQ'.

The coding pattern shifts alternating letters forward by different positional values (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6) based on their alphabet positions.

Pattern Verification

  1. First Word: AFPQV \rightarrow CITVB

    • A (+2) \rightarrow C

    • F (+3) \rightarrow I

    • P (+4) \rightarrow T

    • Q (+5) \rightarrow V

    • V (+6) \rightarrow B (V is 22; 22 + 6 = 28. 28 - 26 = 2nd letter, B)

  2. Second Word: DLNPG \rightarrow FORUM

    • D (+2) \rightarrow F

    • L (+3) \rightarrow O

    • N (+4) \rightarrow R

    • P (+5) \rightarrow U

    • G (+6) \rightarrow M


Applying the Pattern to 'LNAGK'

Using the same increment logic (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6):

  • L (+2) \rightarrow N

  • N (+3) \rightarrow Q

  • A (+4) \rightarrow E

  • G (+5) \rightarrow L

  • K (+6) \rightarrow Q

Therefore, LNAGK becomes NQELQ.

E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/ subtracting /multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) 16, 80 22, 110
