In a certain code, MARCH is written as OCTEJ, how is RETURN written in that code?
- ATFUVSM
- BQGSTQM
- CTGVWTPCorrect
- DTGRVSO
Explanation
The correct answer is C because the code follows a simple pattern where each letter is shifted two positions forward in the alphabetical order.
In the word MARCH: M plus 2 is O A plus 2 is C R plus 2 is T C plus 2 is E H plus 2 is J
Applying the same logic to the word RETURN: R plus 2 is T E plus 2 is G T plus 2 is V U plus 2 is W R plus 2 is T N plus 2 is P
Therefore, RETURN becomes TGVWTP.
