Question

To form the code for another word:
If in a certain language MYSTIFY is coded as NZTUJGZ, how is NEMESIS coded in that language?

• A. MDLHRDR
• B. OFNFTJT
• C. ODNHTDR
• D. PGOKUGU

Answer 1

The correct option is B OFNFTJT

Clearly, each letter in the word MYSTIFY is moved one step forward to obtain the corresponding letter or the code.
(M - N), (Y - Z), (S - T), (T - U), (I - J), (F - G), (Y - Z)
MYSTIFY - NZTUJGZ
So, in NEMESIS, N will be coded as O, (E as F), (M as N), (E as F), (S as T), (I as J) and (S as T).
Thus the code becomes OFNFTJT.
Hence, the answer is (b).
