In a certain code language, ‘FACED’ is written as ‘GZDDE’ and ‘VACAY’ is written as ‘WZDZZ’. How will ‘LABOR’ be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the coding pattern:

Given:
FACED → GZDDE
VACAY → WZDZZ

Step 1: Compare each letter position-wise.

FACED → G Z D D E
V A C A Y → W Z D Z Z

Let's check the transformation for each letter:

First letter:
F → G (F is 6th letter, G is 7th: +1)
V → W (V is 22nd, W is 23rd: +1)
So, first letter: +1

Second letter:
A → Z (A is 1st, Z is 26th: -1)
A → Z (A is 1st, Z is 26th: -1)
So, second letter: -1

Third letter:
C → D (C is 3rd, D is 4th: +1)
C → D (C is 3rd, D is 4th: +1)
So, third letter: +1

Fourth letter:
E → D (E is 5th, D is 4th: -1)
A → Z (A is 1st, Z is 26th: -1)
So, fourth letter: -1

Fifth letter:
D → E (D is 4th, E is 5th: +1)
Y → Z (Y is 25th, Z is 26th: +1)
So, fifth letter: +1

Pattern: +1, -1, +1, -1, +1

Now, apply this to LABOR:
L (12) +1 → M (13)
A (1) -1 → Z (26)
B (2) +1 → C (3)
O (15) -1 → N (14)
R (18) +1 → S (19)
So, the code is: M Z C N S

But let's check the options. Option 1 is MZCNS, but in the answer key, option 3 is marked as correct. Let's check option 3:
Option 3: MBDPS
Let's check if this matches the pattern:
L (12) +1 → M (13)
A (1) -1 → Z (26) (But option 3 has B, which is 2)
B (2) +1 → C (3) (option 3 has D, which is 4)
O (15) -1 → N (14) (option 3 has P, which is 16)
R (18) +1 → S (19) (option 3 has S)
So, option 1 (MZCNS) matches the pattern, not option 3.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: MZCNS.

Final Answer: Option 1 (MZCNS)
