Question

In a certain code, BREAKTHROUGH is written as EAOUHRBGHKT. How is DISTRIBUTION written in that code?

• A. TISTBUONDIRI
• B. STTIBUONRIDI
• C. STTIBUDIONRI
• D. RISTTIBUDION

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

STTIBUDIONRI

Let us divide the letters of given word into pairs
and label these pairs from 1 to 6. $\frac{BR}{1}$, $\frac{EA}{2}$, $\frac{KT}{3}$, $\frac{HR}{4}$, $\frac{OU}{5}$, $\frac{GH}{6}$.

Clearly, the code
contains these pairs arranged in the order 2, 5, 4, 1, 6, 3.

Dividing the letters of the word
DISTRIBUTION in pairs, we have :

$\frac{DI}{1}$, $\frac{ST}{2}$, $\frac{RI}{3}$, $\frac{BU}{4}$, $\frac{TI}{5}$, $\frac{ON}{6}$

Arranging these in the order 2,5, 4, 1, 6, 3, we
get the required code i.e. STTIBUDIONRI. Hence, the answer is (c) .
