Decoding the Pattern: WATER to VZSDQ
The question provides a coded word pair: WATER is coded as VZSDQ. We need to find the coding logic and apply it to the word SUGAR.
Let's analyze the transformation of each letter:
- W (23rd letter) -> V (22nd letter): Difference is -1
- A (1st letter) -> Z (26th letter): Difference is -1 (with wrap-around)
- T (20th letter) -> S (19th letter): Difference is -1
- E (5th letter) -> D (4th letter): Difference is -1
- R (18th letter) -> Q (17th letter): Difference is -1
The pattern is consistently subtracting 1 from the alphabetical position of each letter (A wraps around to Z).
Applying the Code to SUGAR
Now, let's apply this "-1" pattern to the word SUGAR:
- S (19th letter) - 1 = 18th letter, which is R
- U (21st letter) - 1 = 20th letter, which is T
- G (7th letter) - 1 = 6th letter, which is F
- A (1st letter) - 1 = 26th letter (wrap-around), which is Z
- R (18th letter) - 1 = 17th letter, which is Q
Therefore, SUGAR is coded as RTFZQ.
Identifying the Correct Option
Comparing our result with the given options:
- Option 1: RTFZQ
- Option 2: RTDYQ
- Option 3: RTDYZ
- Option 4: RTDZQ
The coded word RTFZQ matches Option 1.
