Question

If "BEAUTIFUL" is coded as 'D215V3H5N' in a certain code language, then how will you write "UNIVERSAL" in the same code language?

• A. 5SP3Y2UTIM
• B. SP3X2UTIM
• C. SP3X2UTIN
• D. SP3X2TUIN

Hint:

Look for patterns in the positions of the letters and their shifts when solving code language problems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are given the code for "BEAUTIFUL" as 'D215V3H5N'. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Understanding the coding pattern
The pattern in the given code involves shifts in the positions of letters and digits based on their positions in the word. We can deduce the following:
- B → D (Shifted by +2)
- E → 2 (Position of E is 5, and 5-3 = 2)
- A → 1 (Position of A is 1)
- U → 5 (Shifted by -16 positions from U)
- T → V (Shifted by +2)
- I → 3 (Position of I is 9, and 9-6 = 3)
- F → H (Shifted by +2)
- U → 5 (Shifted by -16 positions from U)
- L → N (Shifted by +2)
Step 2: Apply the same pattern to "UNIVERSAL"
Now, applying the same logic to "UNIVERSAL":
- U → S (Shifted by -2)
- N → P (Shifted by +2)
- I → 3 (Position of I remains 3)
- V → X (Shifted by +2)
- E → 2 (Position of E is 5, and 5-3 = 2)
- R → U (Shifted by +2)
- S → T (Shifted by +2)
- A → I (Shifted by +8)
- L → N (Shifted by +2)
Thus, the code for "UNIVERSAL" is \( \boxed{SP3X2TUIN} \).
