Question

In a certain code language, ATTITUDE is written as TAUJUEDU and CHILDREN is written as HCJMENER. How is LANGUAGE written in that code language?

• A. ALOHVEGA
• B. ALHOVAGA
• C. LAVOHEGA
• D. ALHOVGEA

Hint:

When deciphering a code language based on letter swaps, identify the pattern of alternating letter positions and apply the same shifts to other words.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the Pattern in the Given Code Words

Let’s break down how the code works with the provided examples:

ATTITUDE → TAUJUEDU:
The pattern involves alternating the first and last letters, second and second-last letters, and so on.

Let's analyze it step by step:
First and last letters are swapped: \( A \leftrightarrow T \)
Second and second-last letters: \( T \leftrightarrow E \)
Third and third-last: \( T \leftrightarrow D \)
Fourth and fourth-last: \( I \leftrightarrow U \)
Fifth and fifth-last: \( U \leftrightarrow J \)

This pattern holds for the transformation of "ATTITUDE" to "TAUJUEDU".

CHILDREN → HCJMENER:
Similarly, for "CHILDREN":
First and last: \( C \leftrightarrow N \)
Second and second-last: \( H \leftrightarrow E \)
Third and third-last: \( I \leftrightarrow R \)
Fourth and fourth-last: \( L \leftrightarrow N \)
Fifth and fifth-last: \( D \leftrightarrow M \)

Step 2: Apply the Pattern to the Word "LANGUAGE"

Now, applying the same pattern to "LANGUAGE":
L ↔ E
A ↔ G
N ↔ U
G ↔ A
U ↔ V
A ↔ O
G ↔ H
E ↔ A

Thus, the word "LANGUAGE" will be written as: "ALOHVEGA" in the code language.
