i.e. F→L, A→G, N→T, T→Z.
Similarly for “CRICKET” the code is IXOIQKZ.
Hence, the answer is IXOIQKZ.
8. In a certain code “DHRUVA” is written as “BWVSIE”. Which of the following words can be written as “ BWSBIUB”?
a) ACHARYA
b) MERCURY
c) ANTARTICA
d) ATHARVA
View Answer
Explanation: Here, reverse the words and move +1 from its original position.
i.e. for “DHRUVA” the reversed word is AVURHD and the code is BWVSIE.
Similarly, for the code BWSBIUB the word is AVRAHTA and the reversed word is ATHARVA.
Hence, the answer is ATHARVA.
9. In a certain code “CH4IR” is written as “GL8MV”. How is “1N5T4GR4M” is written in that code?
a) 4HFID8E8N
