In a certain code, ROAD is written as URDG. How is SWAN written in tha...
Code pattern:
To solve this question, we need to identify the pattern or rule followed in the given code. Let's analyze the code pattern for the given words:
ROAD: URDG
SWAN: ?
Analysis:
From the given code, we can observe that each letter in the original word is replaced with another letter in the code. To determine the rule or pattern, let's compare the positions of each letter in the original word with the positions of the corresponding letters in the code.
Comparing positions:
R: Original position: 18, Code position: 21 (shifted by 3)
O: Original position: 15, Code position: 18 (shifted by 3)
A: Original position: 1, Code position: 4 (shifted by 3)
D: Original position: 4, Code position: 7 (shifted by 3)
From the above analysis, we can conclude that each letter is shifted by 3 positions to get the corresponding letter in the code.
Applying the pattern to SWAN:
Now that we have identified the pattern, let's apply it to SWAN.
S: Original position: 19, Code position: 22 (shifted by 3)
W: Original position: 23, Code position: 26 (shifted by 3)
A: Original position: 1, Code position: 4 (shifted by 3)
N: Original position: 14, Code position: 17 (shifted by 3)
Therefore, SWAN is written as VZDQ in the given code.
Answer: The correct answer is option B) VZDQ.
