If 'CABLE' is coded as 'XZYOV', a possible decode of 'YZXP' is

  • A.BABY
  • B.CELL
  • C.BACK
  • D.BELL.

Answer: C

A possible decode of YZXP is BACK.

The code replaces each letter by its mirror image in the alphabet, the letter the same distance from the other end: A and Z, B and Y, C and X, and so on, so that the positions of each pair add up to 27. Checking CABLE: C to X, A to Z, B to Y, L to O and E to V gives XZYOV, as stated.

Decoding YZXP the same way: Y to B, Z to A, X to C and P to K, which spells BACK. BABY would be coded YZYB, CELL as XVOO and BELL as YVOO, none of which is YZXP.
