In a certain code, MEDICAL is written as NFEJDBM. How is HEART written in that code?
Correct answer: A. IFBSU
- A. IFBSU
- B. IFBTU
- C. GDZQS
- D. IEBSU
Explanation
Each letter is replaced by the one immediately after it in the alphabet, so M becomes N, E becomes F and so on. Applying the same shift to HEART gives I, F, B, S and U, which is IFBSU. Option IFBTU shifts the R correctly but moves the T two places instead of one.
