Coding Decoding - JAPAN to KCSES

CMAT 2019 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Coding Decoding

If JAPAN is coded KCSES, then the code of CASTLE will be:

  1. A.

    DIJOBT

  2. B.

    DJKRDP

  3. C.

    DCVXQK

  4. D.

    DKMSGR

Answer

C

Explanation

The coding pattern is +1,+2,+3,+4,+5+1, +2, +3, +4, +5:

  • J (+1)→(+1) \rightarrow K
  • A (+2)→(+2) \rightarrow C
  • P (+3)→(+3) \rightarrow S
  • A (+4)→(+4) \rightarrow E
  • N (+5)→(+5) \rightarrow S

Similarly for CASTLE (+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6+1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6):

  • C (+1)→(+1) \rightarrow D
  • A (+2)→(+2) \rightarrow C
  • S (+3)→(+3) \rightarrow V
  • T (+4)→(+4) \rightarrow X
  • L (+5)→(+5) \rightarrow Q
  • E (+6)→(+6) \rightarrow K

So CASTLE is coded as DCVXQK.
