In a code language, ‘BEAM’ is written as ‘AFZN’, and ‘BILL’ is written as ‘AJKM’. How will ‘WELL’ be written in that language?
Correct Answer :
VFKM
Solution :
The correct answer is VFKM.
Let us analyze the pattern of the coding language by looking at the given examples step-by-step.
Example 1: "BEAM" is written as "AFZN"
Let's align each letter of the original word with the coded word:
B → A (The letter before B is A, which is a shift of -1)
E → F (The letter after E is F, which is a shift of +1)
A → Z (The letter before A, wrapping around the alphabet, is Z, which is a shift of -1)
M → N (The letter after M is N, which is a shift of +1)
So, the pattern follows alternating shifts of -1 and +1: [-1, +1, -1, +1].
Example 2: "BILL" is written as "AJKM"
Let's check if the same pattern applies:
B → A (B - 1 = A)
I → J (I + 1 = J)
L → K (L - 1 = K)
L → M (L + 1 = M)
The pattern is confirmed to be [-1, +1, -1, +1].
Applying the pattern to "WELL":
W → W - 1 = V
E → E + 1 = F
L → L - 1 = K
L → L + 1 = M
Therefore, "WELL" will be coded as VFKM.
