In a certain code language, the word ‘FUTILE’ is written as ‘HYVMNI’....
To solve this question, we need to understand the pattern or logic being followed in the given code language. Let's analyze the given word 'FUTILE' and its corresponding code 'HYVMNI'.
Analysis of the word 'FUTILE' and its code 'HYVMNI':
- The first letter 'F' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'H' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
- The second letter 'U' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'Y' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
- The third letter 'T' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'V' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
- The fourth letter 'I' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'M' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
- The fifth letter 'L' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'N' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
- The sixth letter 'E' in the word 'FUTILE' is coded as 'I' in the given code 'HYVMNI'.
Pattern observed:
- Each letter in the word 'FUTILE' is shifted by 2 positions to the right in the corresponding code 'HYVMNI'.
- For example, 'F' is shifted to 'H', 'U' is shifted to 'Y', 'T' is shifted to 'V', and so on.
Applying the same pattern to the word 'PENCIL':
- The first letter 'P' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'R'.
- The second letter 'E' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'G'.
- The third letter 'N' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'P'.
- The fourth letter 'C' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'E'.
- The fifth letter 'I' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'K'.
- The sixth letter 'L' will be shifted by 2 positions to the right, resulting in the coded letter 'N'.
Therefore, the word 'PENCIL' will be written as 'RGPEKN' in the given code language. None of the given options (a), (b), or (c) match the correct code for 'PENCIL'. Hence, the correct answer is option (d) - None of the above.
