The problem asks us to find the original word that corresponds to the code PNZSS, based on the example: BLACK is coded as YMZDJ.
We first determine the relationship between the letters of BLACK and YMZDJ. We use the standard alphabetical positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
| Original Letter | Position | Coded Letter | Position | Operation (based on position) | Calculation & Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | 2 | Y | 25 | Position 1 | $2 - 3 = -1 \equiv 25 \pmod{26}$ (Y) |
| L | 12 | M | 13 | Position 2 | $12 + 1 = 13$ (M) |
| A | 1 | Z | 26 | Position 3 | $1 - 1 = 0 \equiv 26 \pmod{26}$ (Z) |
| C | 3 | D | 4 | Position 4 | $3 + 1 = 4$ (D) |
| K | 11 | J | 10 | Position 5 | $11 - 1 = 10$ (J) |
The pattern applied to the letters of the original word is a sequence of operations: -3, +1, -1, +1, -1.
To decode PNZSS, we need to reverse the operations applied. The inverse operations are: +3, -1, +1, -1, +1. We apply these inverse operations to the letters of PNZSS in order.
| Coded Letter | Position | Inverse Operation | Calculation | Result Position | Original Letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | 16 | Add 3 | $16 + 3$ | 19 | S |
| N | 14 | Subtract 1 | $14 - 1$ | 13 | M |
| Z | 26 | Add 1 | $26 + 1 \pmod{26}$ | 1 | A |
| S | 19 | Subtract 1 | $19 - 1$ | 18 | R |
| S | 19 | Add 1 | $19 + 1$ | 20 | T |
Combining the decoded letters, we get the word SMART.
In a code language, INDICATOR is written as JOEJBCVQT. How will EMOTIONAL be written in that language?
There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question.
Rule:
1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second.
2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added.
3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number.
4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number.
Row I: 9,11, 34
Row II: 16, 9, 8
What is the difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row
In a certain code language, 'I belong to you' is written as '# @ © *', 'you belong to them' is written as '©@ % *', 'we belong them' is written as '+ %©'. What is the code for 'we to you' in that code language?
In a certain code language, 'You are good' is written as '@ $ #', 'Good boys like you' is written as '& * @ #', 'I and you go' is written as '© < + @ '. What is the code for 'boys are like' in that code language?
In a certain code language, 'My Best Friend' is coded as 356, "best teacher best friend" is coded as 5456, then 'My friend best Teacher' would be coded as:
