Question

In a code language if `MUMBAI' is coded as LVLCZJ, then how `SANGLI' will be coded in the same language ?

The correct answer is

RBMHKJ

Compare MUMBAI with LVLCZJ letter by letter, tracking the shift at each position.

M → L is \(-1\); U → V is \(+1\); M → L is \(-1\); B → C is \(+1\); A → Z is \(-1\), wrapping round the alphabet; I → J is \(+1\).

So the rule alternates by position: letters in the odd positions move one step back and letters in the even positions move one step forward.

Apply that same alternation to SANGLI. Position 1, S \(-1\) = R. Position 2, A \(+1\) = B. Position 3, N \(-1\) = M. Position 4, G \(+1\) = H. Position 5, L \(-1\) = K. Position 6, I \(+1\) = J.

Reading the coded letters in order gives R, B, M, H, K, J.

Hence `SANGLI' is coded as RBMHKJ.
