In a certain code language, 'SHE' is written as 'EIT' and 'SAD' is written as 'DBT'. How will 'SUN' be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the given code:

1. SHE -> EIT
2. SAD -> DBT

Check the position of letters in the alphabet:
S = 19, H = 8, E = 5
E = 5, I = 9, T = 20

For 'SHE' to 'EIT':
- S(19) to E(5): 19 - 14 = 5
- H(8) to I(9): 8 + 1 = 9
- E(5) to T(20): 5 + 15 = 20

Check 'SAD' to 'DBT':
S = 19, A = 1, D = 4
D = 4, B = 2, T = 20

- S(19) to D(4): 19 - 15 = 4
- A(1) to B(2): 1 + 1 = 2
- D(4) to T(20): 4 + 16 = 20

Observing the pattern:
- First letter: S(19) maps to E(5) or D(4), difference around -14 or -15
- Second letter: H(8) to I(9), A(1) to B(2), always +1
- Third letter: E(5) to T(20), D(4) to T(20), +15 or +16

For 'SUN':
S = 19, U = 21, N = 14

Apply the pattern:
- First letter: 19 - 14 = 5 (E) or 19 - 15 = 4 (D). Since 'SHE' used -14, let's use -14 here: 19 - 14 = 5 (E)
- Second letter: 21 + 1 = 22 (V)
- Third letter: 14 + 15 = 29. Since alphabet has 26 letters, 29 - 26 = 3 (C)

But none of the options have EVC.

Try the other first letter shift (-15):
- First letter: 19 - 15 = 4 (D)
- Second letter: 21 + 1 = 22 (V)
- Third letter: 14 + 16 = 30, 30 - 26 = 4 (D)

Code: DVD (not in options)

Try the pattern from 'SAD' where first letter shifts -15, second +1, third +16.

Alternatively, check if the first letter is shifted to the last letter of the original word:
- 'SHE' first letter S(19) to E(5) (third letter)
- 'SAD' first letter S(19) to D(4) (third letter)

Try mapping first letter to third letter of original word:
- For 'SUN', third letter is N(14)
- So first letter in code is N

Second letter is original second letter +1:
- U(21) + 1 = V(22)

Third letter is original third letter + 6:
- N(14) + 6 = 20 (T)

So code is NVT.

Check options: NVT is option 4.

But option 4 is NVT, option 1 is NTV.

Try swapping last two letters:
- NTV or NVT

Check which matches the pattern better:
- 'SHE' -> EIT (E I T)
- 'SAD' -> DBT (D B T)

Last letter is always T.

So last letter is T.

Second letter is I or B, which is +1 from original second letter.

So for 'SUN', second letter should be V (U+1), last letter T.

First letter is N (third letter of original word).

Hence, code is NVT.

Therefore, the correct code for 'SUN' is 'NVT'.

Answer: Option 4.
