Question

The capital letters in the given word are coded and written in small letters, but not in the same order as the letters in the word, then what would be the code in correct order for the word 'NICE' ?
N E C K : b i m k
L U C K : m d n b
L I K E : m k j n

• A. k j n b
• B. j i k b
• C. i j b m
• D. i j b k

Answer 1

The correct option is D i j b k

In statements (i), (ii) and (iii), the common alphabet is 'K' and common code letter is 'm'. So, 'K' is coded as 'm'.
In statements (i) and (iii), the common alphabet are 'KE' and common code letter is 'mk' respectively. So, 'E' is coded as 'k'.
Again, in statements (i) and (ii), the common alphabet are 'KC' and common code letter is 'mb' respectively. So, 'C' is coded as 'b'.
Therefore, in statement (i), 'N' is coded as 'i'.
Similarly, in statements (ii) and (iii), the common alphabet are 'KL' and common code letter is 'mn' respectively. So, 'I' is coded as 'j' in it.
Therefore, the word 'NICE' is coded as 'ijbk'.
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
