Question : Directions: In a certain code language, COURT is written as ERWUV and DANCE is written as FDPFG. How will EARTH be written in that language?

Option 1: GDTWJ

Option 2: GDTWK

Option 3: GDTVJ

Option 4: GDTXJ

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: GDTWJ


Solution : Given:
COURT is written as ERWUV and DANCE is written as FDPFG.

Add 2 and 3 alternately to the place value of the letters of COURT to obtain the required code –
C + 2 = E; O + 3 = R; U + 2 = W; R + 3 = U; T + 2 = V
Thus, COURT is coded as ERWUV.
And, DANCE is written as FDPFG.
D + 2 = F; A + 3 = D; N + 2 = P; C + 3 = F; E + 2 = G
Similarly, follow the same pattern for EARTH –
E + 2 = G; A + 3 = D; R + 2 = T; T + 3 = W; H + 2 = J

So, EARTH is coded as GDTWJ. Hence, the first option is correct.
