Question

In a certain code language, "PRIME" is written as "VNRIK". How is "MICRO" written in that code language?

A) LIXRN B) NRILV C) VPQAN D) NPVQR

Answer 1

Answer:

C. VPQAN is answer....

Answer 2

A) LIXRN

Decoding:

In a certain language "PRIME" is written as "VNRIK". We have to find the logic behind the conversion of the word "PRIME" to "VNRIK". First, we have to write their position on the alphabet.

PRIME:

P= 16

R=18

I=9

M=13

E=5

VNRIK:

V=22

N=14

R=18

I=9

K=11

By carefully observing them, we can find that P & K, R & I, I & R, M & N, E & V are the pair of opposite letters i.e., they are obtained by subtracting 27 from their respective numbers. Hence, for "MICRO" we have to follow the same rule.

M=13

I=9

C=3

R=18

O=15

After subtracting each number by 27 we will get the letter "LIXRN" where,

L=12

I=9

X=24

R=18

N=14

Hence, "MICRO" can be written as "LIXRN"
