If 'A' is coded as 'Z', 'B' as 'Y', and so on, what is the code for 'HELLO'?

If 'A' is coded as 'Z', 'B' as 'Y', and so on, what is the code for 'HELLO'?

Correct Answer: SVOOL

Step 1: Understand that each letter is replaced by its opposite letter in the alphabet. For example, A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, and so on.
Step 2: Write down the letters of the word 'HELLO'. The letters are H, E, L, L, O.
Step 3: Find the opposite letter for each letter in 'HELLO':
- For H, the opposite letter is S.
- For E, the opposite letter is V.
- For L, the opposite letter is O.
- For the second L, the opposite letter is also O.
- For O, the opposite letter is L.
Step 4: Combine the opposite letters together. So, H becomes S, E becomes V, L becomes O, L becomes O, and O becomes L.
Step 5: Write down the final coded word. The coded version of 'HELLO' is 'SVOOL'.

Alphabet Coding – The question tests the ability to understand and apply a simple substitution cipher where letters are replaced by their counterparts in a reversed alphabet.
Pattern Recognition – It assesses the skill to recognize patterns in letter sequences and apply them consistently.
