Olympiad Test: Coding-Decoding - 4 - Class 6 MCQ

Following the given codes, 'Lion' is termed as 'Dog'. Thus, 'Dog' is the king of the forest.

If 'DGPT' translates to 'EFQS', it appears that there is a shifting pattern. For example, 'D' becomes 'E', 'G' becomes 'H', 'P' becomes 'Q', and 'T' becomes 'S'. Following this pattern, 'F' becomes 'G', 'L' becomes 'K', 'M' becomes 'N', and 'T' becomes 'S'. Therefore, the code for 'FLMT' is 'KGNS'.

If 'E' is coded as 'H', this suggests that each letter is shifted 3 positions forward in the alphabet (E to H is three letters forward: E → F → G → H).

Using the same pattern:

• 'D' (shifted 3 positions forward) becomes 'G' (D → E → F → G).

So, 'D' will be coded as G.

The given pattern suggests a reverse coding with numbers and letters. As per the provided codes, '5' corresponds to 'X', '7' corresponds to 'V', '3' corresponds to 'Z', and '4' corresponds to 'Y'. Hence, '5734' translates to 'XVZY'.

- The pattern involves reversing the order of letters.
- 'KING' is reversed to form 'GNIK'.
- Similarly, to code 'PINK', reverse the order of letters.
- Thus, 'PINK' becomes 'KNIP'.
- Therefore, the correct answer is A: KNIP.

The code is determined by adding the numerical positions of the letters in the alphabet. For 'JH', J=10 and H=8, so 10+8=18. Applying this to 'CH', where C=3 and H=8, we get 3+8=11. Thus, the correct answer is C.
