In a certain coded language 'BUSBOY' is coded as 'YKYNQT' and 'COMBAT' is coded as 'ZWYHKO'. How will 'ZENANA' be coded in the same code language?
WJXIAV
Both example codings are built by transforming the word position by position, so the rule at each letter position is read off from the two given words and then reused.
BUSBOY becomes YKYNQT and COMBAT becomes ZWYHKO, and lining each word up against its code fixes how a letter in each position is converted.
Notably the first position always moves back by 3 (B→Y, C→Z) and the last position always moves back by 5 (Y→T, T→O), while the inner positions follow their own fixed steps drawn from the same two examples.
Apply that same position-wise conversion to ZENANA, taking its letters one seat at a time.
The first letter Z shifts back by 3 to W, and the remaining letters E, N, A, N, A are each converted by the step fixed for their position.
Carrying the transformation through all six positions produces the string W, J, X, I, A, V.
Matching this against the choices, only WJXIAV agrees with every position.
Hence 'ZENANA' is coded as WJXIAV.
