In a certain code language, ‘RIVAL’ is coded as ‘PKTCJ’ and ‘TEXTS’ is coded as ‘RGVVQ’. How will ‘POINT’ be coded in the given language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the coding pattern for 'RIVAL' -> 'PKTCJ'.
- R (18) to P (16): -2
- I (9) to K (11): +2
- V (22) to T (20): -2
- A (1) to C (3): +2
- L (12) to J (10): -2

Step 2: Analyze the coding pattern for 'TEXTS' -> 'RGVVQ'.
- T (20) to R (18): -2
- E (5) to G (7): +2
- X (24) to V (22): -2
- T (20) to V (22): +2
- S (19) to Q (17): -2

Step 3: Pattern observed is alternating -2 and +2 shifts starting with -2 for the first letter.

Step 4: Apply the same pattern to 'POINT':
- P (16) - 2 = N (14)
- O (15) + 2 = Q (17)
- I (9) - 2 = G (7)
- N (14) + 2 = P (16)
- T (20) - 2 = R (18)

Step 5: The coded word is 'NQGPR'.

Hence, option 3 is the correct code.

The correct answer is option 3: 'NQGPR'.
