Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FELLOW is coded as FDNLNY. What is the code for GOLDEN in that code language?
Option 1: GNNEDQ
Option 2: DNNDDQ
Option 3: GNNDDP
Option 4: GNMDEP
Correct Answer: GNNDDP
Solution : Given:
FELLOW is coded as FDNLNY.
Add 0 in the place value of the first and fourth letters, subtract 1 from the place value of the second and fifth letters and add 2 to the place value of the third and sixth letters of FELLOW, to obtain the required code –
F + 0 = F; E – 1 = D; L + 2 = N; L + 0 = L; O – 1 = N; W + 2 = Y
Thus, FELLOW is coded as FDNLNY.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for GOLDEN→
G + 0 = G; O – 1 = N; L + 2 = N; D + 0 = D; E – 1 = D; N + 2 = P
So, GOLDEN is coded as GNNDDP. Hence, the third option is correct.
