Q1. If in a certain code, O is written as L, A as H, M as I, S as F, N as T, E as S, I as A, P as G, and C as E, then how will COMPANIES be written in that code?
A ELIGHSBSF
B ELGHITASF
C ELIGHATES
D ELIGHTASF Correct
Explanation
Apply the given substitution letter by letter to COMPANIES. C becomes E, O becomes L, M becomes I, P becomes G, A becomes H, N becomes T, I becomes A, E becomes S, and S becomes F. This gives ELIGHTASF. The other choices break the mapping at one or more positions: they either use the wrong replacement for N, I, E, or S, or disturb the order of the coded letters. A coding question must be solved strictly in the original word order.
