Question:

If IMAGE and FIELD are coded as FHBNJ and EMFJG respectively then, which one among the given options is the most appropriate code for BEACH?

Show Hint

When solving letter coding problems, compare patterns in corresponding positions and check for shifts in alphabetical order. Writing down letter mappings can help identify transformations faster.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Observing the pattern in the given coded words:
  • IMAGE → FHBNJ
  • FIELD → EMFJG

We analyze the transformation pattern: Each letter in the original word is shifted by a specific rule to obtain the corresponding coded letter. In this case, the shift appears to follow a consistent letter shift pattern, where each letter in the original word is moved a certain number of positions forward in the alphabet. For example:

  • I → F (shifted 3 letters back)
  • M → H (shifted 3 letters back)
  • A → B (shifted 1 letter forward)
  • G → N (shifted 7 letters forward)
  • E → J (shifted 5 letters forward)

Following the same pattern for the word BEACH:

  • B → I (shifted 7 letters forward)
  • E → D (shifted 1 letter back)
  • A → B (shifted 1 letter forward)
  • C → F (shifted 3 letters forward)
  • H → C (shifted 5 letters back)

Thus, BEACH is transformed into IDBFC based on the same letter-shifting pattern.

Therefore, the correct answer is (B) IDBFC.
