If in a code TEACHER is written as VGCEJGT, then what is the shift applied?
Correct answer: A. each letter moves two places forward
- A. each letter moves two places forward
- B. each letter moves two places backward
- C. each letter moves one place forward
- D. the letters are reversed
Explanation
T becomes V, E becomes G and A becomes C, each a gap of two places forward, and the same holds for the rest of the word. Testing the rule on the first two or three letters and then confirming it on the last is the efficient approach. A reversal would change the order of the letters rather than their identity.
