In a certain code language EARNINGS is coded as QMDZFRHM and EDUCATED is coded as TBDCDCZS. How "ECONOMIC" will be coded in same language?

  • A.NMDBHBNL
  • B.NMBDHBNL
  • C.NMDBHBLN
  • D.NDMBHBNL

Answer: A

ECONOMIC is coded NMDBHBNL. The rule works on blocks of four letters. Each letter is moved one step back in the alphabet, then the two halves of each block of four are swapped. In EARNINGS, EARN becomes DZQM, and swapping halves gives QMDZ. INGS becomes HMFR, and swapping gives FRHM, which is the given code QMDZFRHM. EDUCATED checks out the same way: TBDC and DCZS. For ECONOMIC the blocks ECON and OMIC become DBNM and NLHB. Swapping the halves gives NMDB and HBNL, so the code is NMDBHBNL. The other options differ in the order of letters inside a block.
