In a certain code language, 'POCKET' is written as ‘POLBUD' and ‘MENTOR’ is written as 'FLUMSN'. How will ' VALVES' be written in that language?

Solution

The logic followed here is: The 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6 th letters are interchanged within the word and then the immediate succeeding letter is written for alternate letters starting from the 1st letter and the immediately preceding letter is written for alternate letters starting from the 2nd letter as per the English alphabetical series. P         O         C         K         E         T          O         P         K         C         T          E P         O         L          B         U         D So, code for POCKET is POLBUD Similarly, M         E         N         T          O         R         E         M         T          N         R         O F          L          U         M         S         N So, code for MENTOR is FLUMSN Similarly, V         A         L          V         E         S         A         V         V         L          S         E B         U         W        K         T          D So, code for VALVES is BUWKTD.
