Question

In a certain code language, FISH is written as GJTJ. How will BIRD be written?

• A. CJSE
• B. CJTD
• C. DJSE
• D. CJTE

Hint:

Identify letter-wise shifts carefully; sometimes the last letter may have a different shift or exceptions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern used to encode the word "FISH" as "GJTJ." The approach is to examine the transformation of each letter.

• F to G: The letter F is shifted forward by 1 to become G.
• I to J: The letter I is shifted forward by 1 to become J.
• S to T: The letter S is shifted forward by 1 to become T.
• H to J: The letter H is shifted forward by 2 to become J.

Analyzing these shifts, we recognize a pattern where the first 3 letters are shifted forward by 1 position, and the last one is shifted by 2 positions. Now, we apply the same pattern to "BIRD":

• B to C: Shifted forward by 1.
• I to J: Shifted forward by 1.
• R to S: Shifted forward by 1.
• D to E: Shifted forward by 2.

Thus, in this encoding scheme, "BIRD" becomes "CJSE".

Answer 2

Analyze the code FISH → GJTJ by comparing each letter's alphabetical position:

F → G:
- F = 6, G = 7 → Shift: +1

I → J:
- I = 9, J = 10 → Shift: +1

S → T:
- S = 19, T = 20 → Shift: +1

H → J:
- H = 8, J = 10 → Shift: +2

So the pattern is: First three letters are shifted by +1, and the last letter is shifted by +2.

Now apply this pattern to the word BIRD:

B = 2 → B +1 = 3 → C
I = 9 → I +1 = 10 → J
R = 18 → R +1 = 19 → S
D = 4 → D +2 = 6 → F

Thus, BIRD becomes: CJSF

Check the options:
(A) CJSE (B) CJTD (C) DJSE (D) CJTE

None match exactly. Option (A) is very close, differing only in the last letter:
- D = 4 → E = 5 → Shift: +1

This suggests that the last letter might actually be shifted by +1 instead of +2 in this case.

So applying +1 to D:
- D = 4 → D +1 = 5 → E

Final coded form of BIRD: CJSE

Therefore, the answer is:
Answer: (A) CJSE
