In a code language, ‘ LAPSE ’ is written as ' MYSOJ ' and ‘ DEFINE ’ is written as ‘ ECIESY ’. How will ' FINAL ' be written in that language?

Solution

The first letter is changed to the immediate succeeding letter, the second letter is changed to the second preceding letter, the third letter is changed to the third succeeding letter, the fourth letter is changed to the fourth preceding letter and so on as per the English alphabetical series. L + 1 = M A – 2 = Y P + 3 = S S – 4 = O E + 5 = J So, code for ‘LAPSE’ is ‘MYSOJ’. D + 1 = E E – 2 = C F + 3 = I I – 4 = E N + 5 = S   E – 6 = Y So, code for ‘DEFINE’ is ‘ECIESY’. F + 1 = G I – 2 = G N + 3 = Q A – 4 = W L + 5 = Q So, code for ‘ FINAL ’ is ‘ GGQWQ ’.
