In a code language, ‘LAND’ is written as ‘IWKZ’, and ‘GOLD’ is written as ‘DKIZ’. How will ‘TEAM’ be written in that language?
Correct Answer :
QAXI
Solution :
The correct option is QAXI.
Step-by-step explanation:
To decode the pattern, let's analyze the positions of letters in the English alphabet (where A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26).
Pattern in 'LAND' → 'IWKZ':
For L (12th letter):
(Letter I)
For A (1st letter):
(Letter W, counting backward)
For N (14th letter):
(Letter K)
For D (4th letter):
(Letter Z)
Pattern in 'GOLD' → 'DKIZ':
For G (7th letter):
(Letter D)
For O (15th letter):
(Letter K)
For L (12th letter):
(Letter I)
For D (4th letter):
(Letter Z)
The logic follows an alternating subtraction pattern: -3, -4, -3, -4.
Applying the same logic to 'TEAM':
For T (20th letter):
(Letter Q)
For E (5th letter):
(Letter A)
For A (1st letter):
(Letter X)
For M (13th letter):
(Letter I)
Combining all coded letters gives QAXI.
