Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FOUR is written as ENTQ and LIKE is written as KHJD. How will DOWN be written in that language?

Option 1: CNUM

Option 2: CMVM

Option 3: CNVO

Option 4: CNVM

Correct Answer: CNVM

Solution : Given:
FOUR is written as ENTQ and LIKE is written as KHJD.

Subtract 1 from the positional value of each letter of FOUR to obtain the required code –
F – 1 = E; O – 1 = N; U – 1 = T; R – 1 = Q
Thus, FOUR is coded as ENTQ.
And, LIKE is written as KHJD.
L – 1 = K; I – 1 = H; K – 1 = J; E – 1 = D
Thus, LIKE is coded as KHJD.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for DOWN –
D – 1 = C; O – 1 = N; W – 1 = V; N – 1 = M

So, DOWN is coded as CNVM. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
