Question: In a certain language, \'WATER\' is coded as \'ZDWUQ\'. What is the code for \'FIRE\'?

Options:

Correct Answer: HKTG

Solution:

Each letter is shifted by +3. F+3=H, I+3=K, R+3=U, E+3=H. So, FIRE = HKTG.

In a certain language, 'WATER' is coded as 'ZDWUQ'. What is the code for 'FIRE'?

In a certain language, 'WATER' is coded as 'ZDWUQ'. What is the code for 'FIRE'?

Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'FIRE'. The letters are F, I, R, and E.
Step 2: Determine how the letters are coded in the example. In 'WATER' to 'ZDWUQ', each letter is shifted by +3 positions in the alphabet.
Step 3: Apply the same +3 shift to each letter in 'FIRE'.
Step 4: Shift F by +3: F -> G -> H. So, F becomes H.
Step 5: Shift I by +3: I -> J -> K. So, I becomes K.
Step 6: Shift R by +3: R -> S -> T -> U. So, R becomes U.
Step 7: Shift E by +3: E -> F -> G -> H. So, E becomes H.
Step 8: Combine the shifted letters to form the coded word: H, K, U, H.
Step 9: The final code for 'FIRE' is 'HKUH'.

Letter Shifting – The question tests the understanding of letter shifting in a coding system, where each letter is replaced by another letter a fixed number of positions down the alphabet.
Alphabet Positioning – It requires knowledge of the position of letters in the alphabet to correctly apply the shifting.
