Question

If RESPOND is coded as EMPOTDS and SENSE is coded as FRODT, then CLARIFY will be coded as

• A. EDTOJME
• B. ZEJSBMD
• C. ZEJQBKD
• D. ZDKSBKD

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

ZEJQBKD

The pattern followed by these words is :

R $+1\to$ S, E $-1\to$ D, S $+1\to$ T, P $-1\to$ O, O $+1\to$ P, N $-1\to$ M, D $+1\to$ E.

So, the group of letters obtained is SDTOPME.

Reverse the above group of letters and get the code.

Thus, RESPOND is coded as EMPOTDS.

Same for the word SENSE.

Let us follow the same pattern for CLARIFY,

C$+1\to$ D, L$-1\to$ K, A$+1\to$ B, R$-1\to$ Q, I$+1\to$ J, F$-1\to$ E, Y$+1\to$ Z

The group of letters obtained is DKBQJEZ.

Hence, the code for CLARIFY is 'ZEJQBKD'.
