ANSWER : NVJQP
Explanation : . The word has been coded in such a way that last letter in the coded word is the next letter of the first letter of the basic word, second letter is next that of the second letter of the basic word and so on. Hence, OPIUM will be coded as NVJQP.
C. If FESTIVAL is written as MBWJUTFG then OPIUM would be written as NVJQP.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: FESTIVAL is written as MBWJUTFG.
Solution:
To solve such types of questions, the first step is to determine the pattern in the given word.
Now, as per alphabetical order write the position number of all the alphabets in the word FESTIVAL.
F = 6, E = 5, S = 19, T = 20, I = 9, V = 22, A = 1, L = 12.
Now,
For MBWJUTFG:
M = 13, B = 2, W = 23, J = 10, U = 21, T = 20, F = 6, G = 7.
Now,
On noticing the pattern, add 1 in the word festival from R.H.S. to L.H.S.
i.e,
12+1 = 13 (M = 13)
1+1 = 2 (B = 2)
22+1 = 23 (W= 23)
9 + 1 = 10 (J = 10)
20 + 1 = 21 (U = 21)
19+ 1 = 20 (T = 20)
5+1 = 6 (F = 6)
6+1 = 7 (G = 7)
Similarly,
O = 15, P = 16, I = 9, U = 21, M = 13
Now add 1 from R.H.S.:
13 + 1 = 14 (N = 14)
21 +1 = 22 (V = 22)
9 + 1 = 10 (J = 10)
16 + 1 = 17 (Q = 17)
15 +1 = 16 (P = 16)
i.e,
The word OPIUM will be written as NVJQP.
