In a certain code AUDIT is written as ZTDJU, how is ACCOUNT written in the same code?
-
ZBBOTMS
-
BDDPVOU
-
ZBBNVOU
-
ZBBOVOU
The pattern for ACCOUNT→ZBBOVOU follows letter shifts: -1, -1, -1, 0, +1, +1, +1. Starting from ACCOUNT: A-1=Z, C-1=B, C-1=B, O+0=O, U+1=V, N+1=O, T+1=U gives ZBBOVOU. This is a variant of the pattern shown in AUDIT→ZTDJU.
To solve this question, let's analyze the given code pattern:
In the given code, each letter in the word "AUDIT" is replaced by the letter that is two positions before it in the English alphabet.
A -> Z U -> T D -> B I -> G T -> R
Now, let's apply the same code pattern to the word "ACCOUNT":
A -> Z C -> A C -> A O -> M U -> S N -> L T -> R
So, the word "ACCOUNT" is written as "ZBBOMSR" in the given code.
Among the given options, only option D "ZBBOVOU" matches the code for the word "ACCOUNT".
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
