Correct Answer: IMWGTC
Solution :
Given:
ZEPHYR is coded as IIYLHV and SCHIZY is coded as BGQMIC.
Add 9 to the positional value of the odd place letter and add 4 to the positional value of the even place letter to obtain the required code –
Z + 9 = I; E + 4 = I; P + 9 = Y; H + 4 = L; Y + 9 = H; R + 4 = V
Thus, ZEPHYR is coded as IIYLHV.
And SCHIZY is coded as BGQMIC.
S + 9 = B; C + 4 = G; H + 9 = Q; I + 4 = M; Z + 9 = I; Y + 4 = C
Thus, SCHIZY is coded as BGQMIC.
Similarly, following the same pattern for ZINCKY –
Z + 9 = I; I + 4 = M; N + 9 = W; C + 4 = G; K + 9 = T; Y + 4 = C
So, ZINCKY is coded as IMWGTC. Hence, the third option is correct.
