Question

In a certain code language, RUSTICATE is written as QTTUIDBSD. How would STATISTIC be written in that code?

• A. RSBUJTUHB
• B. RSBUITUHB
• C. RSBUIRSJD
• D. TUBUITUMB

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this question, we need to understand the pattern or coding rule applied to transform the word "RUSTICATE" into "QTTUIDBSD". Using this pattern, we will then determine how to encode "STATISTIC". Let's break it down step-by-step:

1.  Analyze the transformation:
   • Original: RUSTICATE
   • Coded: QTTUIDBSD
2. Letter-to-letter comparison:
   • R ➔ Q: R (18) to Q (17) = -1
   • U ➔ T: U (21) to T (20) = -1
   • S ➔ T: S (19) to T (20) = +1
   • T ➔ U: T (20) to U (21) = +1
   • I ➔ I: I (9) = I (9) = 0
   • C ➔ D: C (3) to D (4) = +1
   • A ➔ B: A (1) to B (2) = +1
   • T ➔ S: T (20) to S (19) = -1
   • E ➔ D: E (5) to D (4) = -1
   • -1, -1, +1, +1, 0, +1, +1, -1, -1
3. Apply pattern to "STATISTIC":
   • S ➔ R: S (19) - 1 = R (18)
   • T ➔ S: T (20) - 1 = S (19)
   • A ➔ B: A (1) + 1 = B (2)
   • T ➔ U: T (20) + 1 = U (21)
   • I ➔ I: I (9) = I (9) = 0
   • S ➔ T: S (19) + 1 = T (20)
   • T ➔ U: T (20) + 1 = U (21)
   • I ➔ H: I (9) - 1 = H (8)
   • C ➔ B: C (3) - 1 = B (2)
4. Code for STATISTIC: The transformed code is RSBUITUHB.
5. Verify against options: Comparing with the given options, the correctly coded word is RSBUITUHB.

Therefore, the correct answer is "RSBUITUHB". This transformation employs a combination of adding and subtracting positions based on the pattern observed.
