In a code language, 'FLOUR' is written as 'KPRWS'. How will 'TREES' be written in that language?
YVHGT
This question involves a coding language where words are transformed based on a specific rule. We need to analyze the given example, 'FLOUR' being coded as 'KPRWS', to identify the rule and then apply it to the word 'TREES'.
Let's look at the position of each letter in the alphabet and how it changes from 'FLOUR' to 'KPRWS'. We can assign a numerical value to each letter (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
| Original Word (FLOUR) | Letter Position | Coded Word (KPRWS) | Letter Position | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | 6 | K | 11 | \(11 - 6 = +5\) |
| L | 12 | P | 16 | \(16 - 12 = +4\) |
| O | 15 | R | 18 | \(18 - 15 = +3\) |
| U | 21 | W | 23 | \(23 - 21 = +2\) |
| R | 18 | S | 19 | \(19 - 18 = +1\) |
Observing the changes in letter positions, we can see a clear pattern: the amount added to the letter position decreases by one for each subsequent letter. The pattern is +5, +4, +3, +2, +1.
Now we apply the same numerical pattern (+5, +4, +3, +2, +1) to the letters of the word 'TREES'. We find the position of each letter in 'TREES' and add the corresponding number from the pattern.
Combining the resulting letters (Y, V, H, G, T), the coded word for 'TREES' is 'YVHGT'.
Therefore, according to the code language where 'FLOUR' is written as 'KPRWS', 'TREES' will be written as 'YVHGT'.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Letter Coding | Assigning codes to letters based on their alphabetical position or other patterns. |
| Pattern Recognition | Identifying the underlying rule or sequence that governs the coding process. |
| Alphabetical Series | Using the standard order of letters (A to Z) and their positions. |
Coding and decoding questions often appear in logical reasoning sections of competitive exams. These questions test your ability to identify patterns in sequences of letters, numbers, or symbols. Common types of letter coding patterns include:
Solving these problems requires careful observation, systematic analysis of the given example, and applying the deduced rule consistently to the target word.
