In a certain code language the word ‘FUTILE’ is written as ‘HYVMNI’. ...
Explanation:
To find the code for the word 'PENCIL' in the given code language, we need to understand the pattern used to code the word 'FUTILE' as 'HYVMNI'.
Pattern:
Upon analyzing the given code word, we can observe that each letter in the original word is replaced with the letter that appears after it in alphabetical order. For example, the letter 'F' is replaced with the letter 'H' (which is two positions ahead of 'F' in the alphabet).
Applying the pattern:
Using the same pattern, we can code the word 'PENCIL' as follows:
- The letter 'P' is two positions ahead of 'N' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'P' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'N', which is 'R'.
- The letter 'E' is two positions ahead of 'C' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'E' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'C', which is 'I'.
- The letter 'N' is two positions ahead of 'L' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'N' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'L', which is 'F'.
- The letter 'C' is two positions ahead of 'A' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'C' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'A', which is 'O'.
- The letter 'I' is two positions ahead of 'G' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'I' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'G', which is 'E'.
- The letter 'L' is two positions ahead of 'J' in the alphabet. So, the coded letter for 'L' will be two positions ahead of the coded letter for 'J', which is 'H'.
Therefore, the word 'PENCIL' will be coded as 'RIFOEH' in the given code language.
Conclusion:
The correct code for the word 'PENCIL' in the given code language is 'RIFOEH', which is not listed among the given options. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (None of them).
