 In a code mystify is coded
as nztujgz, how is nemesis
coded in that language?
• Ofnftjt
• Look at the relation: for m we are using n. for Y
we are using Z, for s we are using t. thus for each
digit, we are using just the next digit. Thus for
nemesis : for n, we will use o, for e, we will use f,
for m, we will use n etc.

• Ans.

www.afterschoool.tk
 TAP is coded as SZO,
how is FREEZE coded?
• For T = we have S

• EQDDYD Ans.

 If sikkim is coded as
THLJJL, how is training
written in that code?
• For S: T (one step forward

• For k : L (one step forward)
• For K: J (one step back)
• So on. Thus we have one step forward and
one step back. On this basis, we can
prepare codes for : training
• UQBHOHOF

www.afterschoool.tk
 If FORGE is written as
FPTJI, how is CULPRIT

• For G, we have J (three step
forward)
• For E, we have I (four step forward).
Similarly, we will have :CVNSVNZ.

half as much as B&D. who earns highest.

• Let us assume, B&D = 10, A = 5

• C=5
• A+B > C+D
• 5+b>5+d (deducting 5 from both
sides)
• B>D. B has highest income.
