In a certain code language, ‘BUTTER’ is coded as ‘CWWSCO’ and ‘THEORY’ is coded as ‘UJHNPV’. How will ‘LATENT’ be coded in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the given codes:
   - BUTTER → CWWSCO
   - THEOREY → UJHNPV

2. Observe the pattern of letter shifts for each letter position:

| Letter | Shift in BUTTER | Letter | Shift in THEORY |
|--------|-----------------|--------|-----------------|
| B → C  | +1              | T → U  | +1              |
| U → W  | +2              | H → J  | +2              |
| T → W  | +3              | E → H  | +3              |
| T → S  | -1              | O → N  | -1              |
| E → C  | -2              | R → P  | -2              |
| R → O  | -3              | Y → V  | -3              |

3. The pattern of shifts for each letter in the word is:
   - 1st letter: +1
   - 2nd letter: +2
   - 3rd letter: +3
   - 4th letter: -1
   - 5th letter: -2
   - 6th letter: -3

4. Apply the same pattern to the word LATENT:

| Letter | Shift | Calculation | Result Letter |
|--------|-------|-------------|---------------|
| L      | +1    | L(12) + 1 = 13 | M           |
| A      | +2    | A(1) + 2 = 3   | C           |
| T      | +3    | T(20) + 3 = 23 | W           |
| E      | -1    | E(5) - 1 = 4   | D           |
| N      | -2    | N(14) - 2 = 12 | L           |
| T      | -3    | T(20) - 3 = 17 | Q           |

5. Thus, LATENT is coded as **MCWDLQ**.
