If POND is coded as ONMC, then how will LAKE be coded?
(ADRE 2024)
(A) MBLF
(B) EKAL
(C) PELA
(D) KZJD
To determine how POND is coded as ONMC, let’s analyze the letter transformations:
Letter Transformations:
- P → O: Decreased by 1
- O → N: Decreased by 1
- N → M: Decreased by 1
- D → C: Decreased by 1
From the coding pattern, we see that each letter in POND is decreased by 1 to get the corresponding letter in ONMC.
Applying the Same Transformation to LAKE:
- L → K: Decreased by 1
- A → Z: Decreased by 1
- K → J: Decreased by 1
- E → D: Decreased by 1
So, LAKE is coded as KZJD.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) KZJD.
