Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

KJFS

Solution :

The correct option is KJFS.

Logic/Pattern:
1. Reverse the order of letters in the given word.
2. Subtract consecutive natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) from the alphabetical position of each reversed letter to obtain the coded letter.

Step 1: Verify the pattern with 'FIND'
• Word reversed: D - N - I - F
• Alphabetical positions: D (4), N (14), I (9), F (6)
• Subtracting 1, 2, 3, 4:
- D (4) - 1 = 3 → C
- N (14) - 2 = 12 → L
- I (9) - 3 = 6 → F
- F (6) - 4 = 2 → B
• Result: CLFB

Step 2: Verify the pattern with 'HOW'
• Word reversed: W - O - H
• Alphabetical positions: W (23), O (15), H (8)
• Subtracting 1, 2, 3:
- W (23) - 1 = 22 → V
- O (15) - 2 = 13 → M
- H (8) - 3 = 5 → E
• Result: VME

Step 3: Apply the pattern to 'WILL'
• Word reversed: L - L - I - W
• Alphabetical positions: L (12), L (12), I (9), W (23)
• Subtracting 1, 2, 3, 4:
- 1st letter: L (12) - 1 = 11 → K
- 2nd letter: L (12) - 2 = 10 → J
- 3rd letter: I (9) - 3 = 6 → F
- 4th letter: W (23) - 4 = 19 → S
• Result: KJFS

Therefore, 'WILL' is written as KJFS in that code language.
