Question : 13 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

If EXPLAIN is coded as BUMIXFK, then how will GYM be coded as ?

Solution:

Concept:

Each letter is shifted by a fixed number of places in the alphabet.

Explanation:

Compare the given code:

E \to B

X \to U

P \to M

So the shift is

-3

for each letter.

The change

A \to X

confirms the shift is cyclic.

Now apply the same shift to

GYM

G - 3 = D

Y - 3 = V

M - 3 = J

Therefore,

GYM

is coded as

DVJ
