If 'WATER' is coded as 'YCVGT', how will 'FIRE' be coded in that language?

Question

It is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong arguments and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to trivial aspects of the question. The Statement below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a strong argument and which is a weak argument.
Statement: Should larger the sample size minimize the experimental error?
Arguments: I. Yes, this is one of the ways to improve the efficiency of the estimator. II. No, sample size is not at all a matter.

Answer 1

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This logical reasoning problem involves letter coding. The goal is to decipher the transformation rule turning 'WATER' into 'YCVGT' and use it on 'FIRE'.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Determine the alphabetical shift applied to each letter in the sample word, then replicate this exact shift for the target word.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Examining the letter shifts in 'WATER':
W (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) Y
A (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) C
T (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) V
E (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) G
R (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) T
The established rule is advancing each letter by 2 spots in the alphabet.
Implementing this rule on 'FIRE':
F (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) H
I (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) K
R (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) T
E (+2 positions) \(\rightarrow\) G
This yields the coded word 'HKTG'.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct choice is (B).

Economic System	Characteristics
a. Capitalism	i. Private ownership of resources; market-driven economy with minimal government intervention
b. Socialism	ii. Government ownership of key industries; centralized economic planning
c. Mixed Economy	iii. Combination of private and government ownership; focus on social welfare and regulation
d. Market Economy	iv. Private ownership with some government regulation; competition and market forces determine economic outcomes

If 'WATER' is coded as 'YCVGT', how will 'FIRE' be coded in that language?
