In a code language GRANT is written as UOBSH, TIME is written as FNJU how is PRIDE written in that language ?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine how PRIDE is written in the given code language, we need to analyze the pattern used to encode the words GRANT and TIME.

1. **Analyzing the Code Pattern:**

- **GRANT to UOBSH:**
     - G to U: The letter G (7th in the alphabet) is shifted forward by 14 positions to become U (21st in the alphabet).
     - R to O: The letter R (18th) is shifted backward by 3 positions to become O (15th).
     - A to B: The letter A (1st) is shifted forward by 1 position to become B (2nd).
     - N to S: The letter N (14th) is shifted forward by 5 positions to become S (19th).
     - T to H: The letter T (20th) is shifted backward by 12 positions to become H (8th).

- **TIME to FNJU:**
     - T to F: The letter T (20th) is shifted backward by 14 positions to become F (6th).
     - I to N: The letter I (9th) is shifted forward by 5 positions to become N (14th).
     - M to J: The letter M (13th) is shifted backward by 3 positions to become J (10th).
     - E to U: The letter E (5th) is shifted forward by 16 positions to become U (21st).

2. **Applying the Pattern to PRIDE:**

- P to F: The letter P (16th) is shifted backward by 11 positions to become F (5th).
   - R to E: The letter R (18th) is shifted backward by 13 positions to become E (5th).
   - I to J: The letter I (9th) is shifted forward by 1 position to become J (10th).
   - D to S: The letter D (4th) is shifted forward by 15 positions to become S (19th).
   - E to Q: The letter E (5th) is shifted forward by 12 positions to become Q (17th).

Therefore, PRIDE is encoded as FEJSQ.

3. **Explanation of Incorrect Options:**

- **Option 1 (QSJEF):** This does not follow the identified pattern of shifts applied to PRIDE.
   - **Option 2 (OQHCD):** This option does not match the pattern of letter shifts used in the code.
   - **Option 4 (TPMED):** This option does not align with the encoding pattern derived from the examples.

In conclusion, Option 3 (FEJSQ) is the correct answer as it accurately follows the encoding pattern used in the given examples.
