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
