Question

If in a certain code language "COCHLEA" is coded as "BUDGMIE" and "LATITUDE" as "KEVOSAFI", then how would "PEPPERCORN" be coded in the same language?
A. NIQQISDUSP
B. NIQNISBUSM
C. NINNIQBUQM
D. QIQQISDUSP

Answer 1

As per the question COCHLEA is coded as BUDGMIE and LATITUDE is coded as KEVOSAFI.

In the both coded language we can see that the non vowel letters are either added or subtracted by 1 in the alphabetical sequence, and the vowels used are the very next consecutive vowels in sequencing order.

Hence the word PEPPERCORN will be coded as QIQQISDUSP.    

Answer 2

Answer:

B. NIQNISBUSM

Step-by-step explanation:

In gievn code language,

COCHLEA  =  BUDGMIE

LATITUDE  =  KEVOSAFI

Here,

1 - all the 'Vowels' are replaced by next consicutive 'Vowel'

  e.g.    A -> E , E -> I, ... etc

2 - 1st 'Non-Vowel' letter is replaced by immidiate previous 'Non-vowel' letter

  e.g.   C -> B,  L -> K

3 - neglecting the vowels for the words, the alternate 'Non-vowel words are replaced by,

 1st by previous non-vowel letter,

 2nd by next non-vowel letter... and so on.

∴ Option B - NIQNISBUSM, fits the coding criteria.
