Question

In a certain code language the word LATEST is written as IDQHPW. How will the word PAPERS be written in that language?

Answer 1

Answer:

code for PAPERS is MDMHOV

Answer 2

The word PAPERS written in that language will be MDMHOV.

Explanation:

In order to solve the code for the word “PAPERS”, first we need to understand the hidden pattern in the code for the word “LATEST”.

The code for the word “LATEST” is given as “IDQHPW”.

Let’s understand the pattern involved:

Letter L → L - 3 →  I

Letter A → A + 3 → D

Letter T → T - 3 → Q

Letter E → E + 3 → H

Letter S → S - 3 →  P

Letter T → T + 3 → W

So, L is coded as I, A is coded as D, T is coded as Q, E is coded as H, S is coded as P & T is coded as W. Here the first letter is getting a code of “3 letters before it” & then the second letter is getting a code of  “3 letters after it” and so on till letter T, in an alternate pattern. The final code is “IDQHPW”.

Now, similarly, following the above pattern, we will work out for the code for the word “PAPERS”:

Letter P → P - 3 →  M

Letter A → A + 3 → D

Letter P → P - 3 → M

Letter E → E + 3 → H

Letter R → R - 3 →  O

Letter S → S + 3 → V

Therefore, the code for the “PAPERS” will be “MDMHOV”.
