If in a certain code language PROFESSOR is written as 'RTQHGUUQT', then in that language how will the word SCIENTIST be written?
A'TDJFOUJTU'
B'UEKGOVKUV'
C'UEKGPVLUV'
D'UEKGPVKUV' ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 'UEKGPVKUV' — The word becomes 'UEKGPVKUV', so the answer is 'UEKGPVKUV'.
Explanation
★The word becomes 'UEKGPVKUV', so the answer is 'UEKGPVKUV'.
★In the code each letter is shifted two places forward in the alphabet.
★So P becomes R, R becomes T, O becomes Q, and so on for PROFESSOR.
★Applying the same shift to SCIENTIST, S becomes U, C becomes E, I becomes K.
★E becomes G, N becomes P, T becomes V, I becomes K, S becomes U and T becomes V.
★So SCIENTIST is coded as UEKGPVKUV.
★So the answer is 'UEKGPVKUV'.
