Question

In a certain code language: LEGAL is written as PWUAP; COURT is written as YMGJH. How will JUDGE be written in that code language?

• A. RGXUW
• B. SHYVX
• C. SGYVW
• D. RHZVX

Hint:

Always keep the positional values (A=1...Z=26) and their opposites (A-Z, B-Y, C-X...) memorized. This allows you to spot "Opposite + 1" or "Opposite - 1" patterns immediately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Coding-decoding often uses the "Reverse Alphabet" positions (e.g., A=Z, B=Y) or shifts in positions.

• Opposite Letter Rule: Sum of positions of a letter and its opposite is always 27.

Step 1: Decoding the pattern for LEGAL.
L (12) $\rightarrow$ Opp is O (15). O + 1 =

P (16). E (5) $\rightarrow$ Opp is V (22). V + 1 =

W (23). G (7) $\rightarrow$ Opp is T (20). T + 1 =

U (21). A (1) $\rightarrow$ Opp is Z (26). Z + 1 =

A (27/1). Pattern:

(Opposite Letter) + 1.

Step 2: Applying the pattern to JUDGE.
J (10) $\rightarrow$ Opp Q (17) + 1 =

R (18) U (21) $\rightarrow$ Opp F (6) + 1 =

G (7) D (4) $\rightarrow$ Opp W (23) + 1 =

X (24) G (7) $\rightarrow$ Opp T (20) + 1 =

U (21) E (5) $\rightarrow$ Opp V (22) + 1 =

W (23) Result:

RGXUW.
