Question

In a certain code language, if HAND is written as SZMW, then what will be the code of MILK?

• A. ORNP
• B. PNRO
• C. NROP
• D. RNOP

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The pattern is determined by analyzing letter shifts. The word “HAND” is encoded as “SZMW” by shifting each letter:

• H (8th) becomes S (19th), a shift of +11.
• A (1st) becomes Z (26th), a shift of +25.
• N (14th) becomes M (13th), a shift of -1.
• D (4th) becomes W (23rd), a shift of +19.

Applying these shifts to “MILK”:

• M (13th) with +11 gives N (14th).
• I (9th) with +25 gives R (18th).
• L (12th) with -1 gives O (15th).
• K (11th) with +19 gives P (16th).

Therefore, the encoded word for “MILK” is NROP.
