If in a certain language MADRAS is coded a NBESBT, how is BOMBAY coded...
Answer:
To find the code for the word "BOMBAY" in the given language, we need to understand the pattern used to encode the word "MADRAS" as "NBESBT".
Pattern:
- Each letter in the word is shifted forward by one position in the English alphabet.
- So, 'M' is encoded as 'N', 'A' as 'B', 'D' as 'E', 'R' as 'S', 'A' as 'B', and 'S' as 'T'.
Now, let's apply the same pattern to the word "BOMBAY" to find its code.
Encoding:
- 'B' is shifted forward by one position in the English alphabet, so it becomes 'C'.
- 'O' is shifted forward by one position, so it becomes 'P'.
- 'M' is shifted forward by one position, so it becomes 'N'.
- 'B' is shifted forward by one position, so it becomes 'C'.
- 'A' is shifted forward by one position, so it becomes 'B'.
- 'Y' is shifted forward by one position, so it becomes 'Z'.
Therefore, the code for the word "BOMBAY" in the given language is "CPNCBZ", which corresponds to option B.
Summary:
- The word "BOMBAY" is encoded as "CPNCBZ" in the given language.
- The encoding pattern involves shifting each letter in the word forward by one position in the English alphabet.
