Question

If in a certain code language, "CLEAR" is written as "DKFBS", then how is "SMART" written in that code?

• A. TNBQS
• B. TNBQU
• C. RLBQS
• D. TLBSU

Hint:

Track the pattern of letter shifts using ASCII positions or alphabet order. Break the word letter by letter.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the problem, we need to determine the coding pattern used to convert "CLEAR" into "DKFBS" and apply the same logic to the word "SMART".

1. Understanding the Concepts:

- Letter Positioning: Each letter in the English alphabet has a numerical position (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
- Coding Pattern: A transformation rule is applied to each character to form a coded word.
- Consistent Logic: The same transformation must be applied to each character of the new word.

2. Given Values:

Original: C L E A R
Coded:  D K F B S

3. Identify the Pattern:

Let’s analyze the transformation letter by letter:

• C (3) → D (4): +1
• L (12) → K (11): -1
• E (5) → F (6): +1
• A (1) → B (2): +1
• R (18) → S (19): +1

Pattern: +1, -1, +1, +1, +1

4. Apply the Same Pattern to "SMART":

- S (19) +1 → T (20)
- M (13) -1 → L (12)
- A (1) +1 → B (2)
- R (18) +1 → S (19)
- T (20) +1 → U (21)

Final Answer:

The word "SMART" is written as TLBSU in that code.
