Question

In a certain coding system, the word MODEL is coded as JLABI, then ENERGY is given by

• A. BKBQVD
• B. BKBODV
• C. BKBODV
• D. BKBDOV

Hint:

In letter coding problems, check alphabetical positions and find consistent shifts to decode or encode words.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the coding for MODEL → JLABI
Let us compare the letters and their positions in the alphabet: \begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c} Letter & Position & Coded Letter & Position
\hline M & 13 & J & 10
O & 15 & L & 12
D & 4 & A & 1
E & 5 & B & 2
L & 12 & I & 9
\end{tabular}
Step 2: Determine the pattern
Observe the shift from original to coded letter: \[ M(13) \to J(10): -3 \\ O(15) \to L(12): -3 \\ D(4) \to A(1): -3 \\ E(5) \to B(2): -3 \\ L(12) \to I(9): -3 \] Each letter is shifted 3 places backward in the alphabet.
Step 3: Apply same coding to ENERGY
Letters and positions: \[ E(5), N(14), E(5), R(18), G(7), Y(25). \] Shift each letter 3 places backward: \[ E \to B(2), \quad N \to K(11), \quad E \to B(2), \quad R \to O(15), \quad G \to D(4), \quad Y \to V(22). \]
Step 4: Write coded word
ENERGY → BKBODV.
Step 5: Conclusion
Hence, ENERGY is coded as BKBODV.
