Question:medium

In a certain code language: LEGAL is written as PWUAP; COURT is written as YMGJH. How will JUDGE be written in that code language?

Show Hint

Always keep the positional values (A=1...Z=26) and their opposites (A-Z, B-Y, C-X...) memorized. This allows you to spot "Opposite + 1" or "Opposite - 1" patterns immediately.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Decode the cipher rule using LEGAL = PWUAP.
For each letter at alphabetical position $p$ (A=1, ..., Z=26), the coded position = $28-p$; check: L(12) gives $28-12=16=P$; E(5) gives $28-5=23=W$; G(7) gives $28-7=21=U$; A(1) gives $28-1=27$ which wraps to 1 = A; L(12) gives P again - rule confirmed.
Step 2: Verify with COURT = YMGJH.
C(3): $28-3=25=Y$; O(15): $28-15=13=M$; U(21): $28-21=7=G$; R(18): $28-18=10=J$; T(20): $28-20=8=H$ = YMGJH. Confirmed!
Step 3: Apply the rule to JUDGE.
J(10): $28-10=18=R$; U(21): $28-21=7=G$; D(4): $28-4=24=X$; G(7): $28-7=21=U$; E(5): $28-5=23=W$ = RGXUW.
\[ \boxed{\text{RGXUW}} \]
