Question

    FERTILE written in that code?
    A IUCRLJH Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ICURLJH Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ICUJLRH Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D IUCRHLJ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is:  The letters at odd positions move ahead by 3 places. The letters at even positions move back by 2 places. Code for ‘COMPACT’ C = C+3 = F O = O-2 = M M = M+3 = P P = P-2 = N A = A+3 = D C = C-2 = A T = T+3 = W Code for ‘FERTILE’ F = F+3 = I E = E-2 = C R = R+3 = U T = T-2 = R I = I+3 = L L = L-2 = J E = E+3 = H The code for FERTILE is ICURLJH. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
