Question

John, Tom, Tim, Harry, Ana, Mary, and Jane are playing a game of treasure hunt where clues are mentioned in codes.
Tom finds a code MLIB that has to be decoded. If CIWD is decoded as FLZG, what will Tom's code be decoded as?

• A. RAIN
• B. DESK
• C. COUCH
• D. POLE

Answer 1

The correct option is D POLE

CIWD is decoded as FLZG.
C = F (You have to skip two letters from C, i.e., D and E, to get F.)
I = L (The letters J and K are skipped to get L.)
W = Z (The letters X and Y are skipped to get Z.)
D = G (The letters E and F are skipped to get G.)

MLIB will be decoded as:
M = Skip two letters, N and O, to get P
L = Skip two letters, M and N, to get O
I = Skip two letters, J and K, to get L
B = Skip two letters, C and D, to get E
