If FRIEND is coded as HUMJTK, how can CANDLE be written in that code?

Correct answer: B. EDRIRL

  • A. DEQJQM
  • B. EDRIRL
  • C. ESJFME
  • D. Not possible to determine

Explanation

In order to code FRIEND as HUMJTK, each incoming letter is shifted by one more space than the previous one.F becomes H, showing a shift of 2. (FGH)R becomes U, showing a shift of 3. (RSTU)I becomes M, showing a shift of 4. (IJKLM)E becomes J, showing a shift of 5. (EFGHIJ)N becomes T, showing a shift of 6. (NOPQRST)D becomes K, showing a shift of 7. (DEFGHIJK)Therefore, using this technique, we can find the coded version of CANDLE.C becomes E. (CDE)A becomes D. (ABCD)N becomes R. (NOPQR)D becomes I. (DEFGHI)L becomes R. (LMNOPQR)E becomes L. (EFGHIJKL)Therefore, the answer is B, EDRIRL

About Coding and Decoding

Coding and decoding questions replace letters, numbers, words or symbols with another pattern and ask you to identify the rule or decode a new item. Methods include alphabet positions, shifts, reversals, substitution, rearrangement, numerical values and separate rules for different parts of a code.
