Question

In a certain language, NATURE is coded as OCUWSG, how is FAMINE coded in that code?

• A. HCNKOG
• B. GCNJOF
• C. GCNKOF
• D. GCNKOG

Hint:

In coding and decoding problems, look for patterns in the letters such as shifting positions or replacing letters systematically.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

By analyzing the pattern of the word NATURE being coded into OCUWSG, each letter is shifted by a certain number of places. Following this pattern, the word FAMINE would be coded as GCNKOG.

Answer 2

Given: In a certain language, NATURE is coded as OCUWSG. We need to find how FAMINE is coded.

Let's analyze the pattern by comparing each letter of NATURE and its coded form OCUWSG:

N (14) → O (15): +1
A (1) → C (3): +2
T (20) → U (21): +1
U (21) → W (23): +2
R (18) → S (19): +1
E (5) → G (7): +2

The pattern alternates between adding 1 and adding 2 to the alphabetical position of each letter.

Applying the same to FAMINE:
F (6) +1 = G (7)
A (1) +2 = C (3)
M (13) +1 = N (14)
I (9) +2 = K (11)
N (14) +1 = O (15)
E (5) +2 = G (7)

Thus, FAMINE is coded as GCNKOG.

Conclusion:
The correct code for FAMINE is GCNKOG.
