Question

If DENMARK is coded as FCPKCPM, then code SINGAPORE of which option?

• A. UGPECNQPG
• B. UGPFNRP
• C. UGPDNQTC
• D. UGPECNQTC

Hint:

When letter shifts follow a pattern, apply the same shifts in both forward and backward directions to form the code.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Compare the letter shifts from "DENMARK" to "FCPKCPM": 

- D → F (shift by +2) 
- E → C (shift by -2) 
- N → P (shift by +2) 
- M → K (shift by -2) 
- A → C (shift by +2) 
- R → P (shift by -2) 
- K → M (shift by +2) 

Step 2: Apply the same pattern of shifts to "SINGAPORE": 

- S → U (shift by +2) 
- I → G (shift by -2) 
- N → P (shift by +2) 
- G → E (shift by -2) 
- A → C (shift by +2) 
- P → N (shift by -2) 
- O → Q (shift by +2) 
- R → P (shift by -2) 
- E → G (shift by +2) 
Thus, the code for SINGAPORE is "UGPECNQPG".
