In a certain code FLOWER is written as EKNVDQ then FRUIT is written as _______
-
GSVJU
-
EQTHU
-
EQTHS
-
GQTHS
The code follows a simple pattern where each letter is replaced by the letter immediately before it in the alphabet (-1). For FLOWER: F→E, L→K, O→N, W→V, E→D, R→Q. Applying the same rule to FRUIT: F→E, R→Q, U→T, I→H, T→S gives us EQTHS.
To solve this question, we need to understand the pattern or logic behind the given code.
Let's analyze the given code for "FLOWER" and "EKNVDQ":
F --> E L --> K O --> N W --> V E --> D R --> Q
From the analysis, we can observe that each letter in "FLOWER" is replaced by the previous letter in the alphabet.
Now, let's apply the same logic to the word "FRUIT":
F --> E R --> Q U --> T I --> H T --> S
So, the code for "FRUIT" would be "EQTHS".
Hence, the correct answer is option C) EQTHS.
