In a code language, ‘COOL’ is written as ‘EMQJ’, and ‘CARD’ is written as ‘EYTB’. How will ‘STAR’ be written in that language?

The correct option is URCP.

To find how STAR is coded in this language, let us analyze the pattern used in the given examples by observing the positional shift of each letter in the English alphabet.

First example: COOL is written as EMQJ.

• C (+2 positions) → E
• O (-2 positions) → M
• O (+2 positions) → Q
• L (-2 positions) → J

Second example: CARD is written as EYTB.

• C (+2 positions) → E
• A (-2 positions) → Y (moving backward from A wraps around to Z, then Y)
• R (+2 positions) → T
• D (-2 positions) → B

The established pattern applies alternating shifts of +2 and -2 to consecutive letters: (+2, -2, +2, -2).

Now, applying this exact rule to STAR:

• S (+2 positions) → U
• T (-2 positions) → R
• A (+2 positions) → C
• R (-2 positions) → P

Therefore, STAR will be written as URCP.
