In a certain code language, 'OASIS' is written as 'RJTBN' and 'OBESE' is written as 'DTFCN'. How will 'OCCUR' be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the given examples:
- OASIS -> RJTBN
- OBESE -> DTFCN

Step 2: Find the pattern for each letter by comparing the positions in the alphabet:
Alphabet positions: A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26

For OASIS -> RJTBN:
O (15) -> R (18): +3
A (1) -> J (10): +9
S (19) -> T (20): +1
I (9) -> B (2): -7 (or +19)
S (19) -> N (14): -5 (or +21)

For OBESE -> DTFCN:
O (15) -> D (4): -11 (or +15)
B (2) -> T (20): +18
E (5) -> F (6): +1
S (19) -> C (3): -16 (or +10)
E (5) -> N (14): +9

Step 3: The pattern is not uniform across letters, but let's check the positions of letters in the word and their shifts:

Positions: 1 2 3 4 5
Shifts in OASIS:
+3, +9, +1, -7, -5
Shifts in OBESE:
-11, +18, +1, -16, +9

Step 4: Notice that the 3rd letter is shifted by +1 in both words.

Step 5: Let's try to find a pattern for each position:
Position 1: O->R (+3), O->D (-11)
Position 2: A->J (+9), B->T (+18)
Position 3: S->T (+1), E->F (+1)
Position 4: I->B (-7), S->C (-16)
Position 5: S->N (-5), E->N (+9)

Step 6: The shifts vary, but let's check if the code is formed by shifting letters by a fixed number for each position:

Try to find the shift for each position by averaging or checking the pattern:
Position 1: +3 or -11 (difference 14)
Position 2: +9 or +18 (difference 9)
Position 3: +1 both times
Position 4: -7 or -16 (difference 9)
Position 5: -5 or +9 (difference 14)

Step 7: Let's try to apply the first word's shifts to OCCUR:
O (15) +3 = R (18)
C (3) +9 = L (12)
C (3) +1 = D (4)
U (21) -7 = N (14)
R (18) -5 = M (13)

Result: RLDNM (not in options)

Step 8: Try second word's shifts:
O (15) -11 = D (4)
C (3) +18 = U (21)
C (3) +1 = D (4)
U (21) -16 = E (5)
R (18) +9 = A (27->1)

Result: DUDEA (not in options)

Step 9: Try to find a consistent pattern by looking at the options and the original word:
Options:
1. VQDDN
2. VQNDD
3. QVNDD
4. QVDDN

Step 10: Let's check the difference between O and V:
O (15) to V (22) = +7
C (3) to Q (17) = +14
C (3) to N (14) = +11
U (21) to D (4) = -17 or +9
R (18) to N (14) = -4 or +22

Step 11: The best matching option based on the pattern of shifts and letter positions is option 1: VQDDN.

Therefore, the code for OCCUR is VQDDN.
