If HERCULES is coded s JCTAWJGQ, then what is the code for APHORDITE ?
(A) CNMJTBKRG (B) CNJMTBKSG (C) CNJMTBKRG (D) CNJMTCKRG
The code is based on shifting each letter in the word ‘HERCULES’ forward two positions in the alphabet to get the corresponding letters in the code.
Step by Step Solution:
1. HERCULES -> JCTAWJGQ
H + 2 = J
E + 2 = G
R + 2 = T
C + 2 = E
U + 2 = W
L + 2 = N
E + 2 = G
S + 2 = U
2. APHORDITE -> CNJMTBKSG
A + 2 = C
P + 2 = R
H + 2 = J
O + 2 = Q
R + 2 = T
D + 2 = F
I + 2 = K
T + 2 = V
E + 2 = G
Therefore, the code for APHORDITE is CNJMTBKSG.
The correct answer is (B) CNJMTBKSG
