Question : 13 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

If IMPLORE is coded as GKNJMPC, then how will HUB be coded as ?

Solution:

Concept:

The code shifts each letter by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet.

Explanation:

Compare

\mathrm{IMPLORE}

with

\mathrm{GKNJMPC}

\mathrm{I} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{G}

\mathrm{M} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{K}

\mathrm{P} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{N}

So, every letter is moved

2

steps backward.

Apply the same rule to

\mathrm{HUB}

\mathrm{H} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{F}

\mathrm{U} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{S}

\mathrm{B} \xrightarrow{-2} \mathrm{Z}

Thus, the code is

\mathrm{FSZ}

Answer:

\mathrm{FSZ}
