Question

In a certain code language, if HAND is written as SZMW, then what will be the code of MILK?

• A. ORNP
• B. PNRO
• C. NROP
• D. RNOP

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To find the pattern, we analyze the shifts in the positions of the letters. Each letter of “HAND” is shifted by a specific number of places to form the coded word “SZMW”:

• H (8th letter) is shifted to S (19th letter), a shift of +11.
• A (1st letter) is shifted to Z (26th letter), a shift of +25.
• N (14th letter) is shifted to M (13th letter), a shift of -1.
• D (4th letter) is shifted to W (23rd letter), a shift of +19.

Now, applying the same shifts to the word “MILK”:

• M (13th letter) shifted by +11 gives N (14th letter).
• I (9th letter) shifted by +25 gives R (18th letter).
• L (12th letter) shifted by -1 gives O (15th letter).
• K (11th letter) shifted by +19 gives P (16th letter).

Thus, the coded word for “MILK” is NROP.
