Question

    In a certain code language, if the word 'HOLMES' is

    coded as 'PINMTF', then how will 'CREATE' be coded?
    A SDBFFU Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B RCAEET Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C SDAEFU Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D RCBFFU Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Each pair in the word is swapped; thus, HO is swapped and becomes OH, LM is swapped to become ML, and ES is swapped to become SE.   The word HOLMES thus becomes OHMLSE. Next, the immediate next letter for each of the letters in the newly formed term is written; thus, OHMLSE becomes PINMTF.   Similarly, CREATE is first written as RCAEET and then coded as, SDBFFU.   Hence, the correct answer is (A).
