In a certain code language, 'SUN' is written as 'RWK' and 'MOON' is written as 'LQLR'. Following the same pattern, how will 'STAR' be written?
Explanation
1. Pattern Analysis (SUN → RWK):
-
S(19)−1=R(18)
-
U(21)+2=W(23)
-
N(14)−3=K(11)
Sequence: −1,+2,−3
2. Pattern Verification (MOON → LQLR):
-
M(13)−1=L(12)
-
O(15)+2=Q(17)
-
O(15)−3=L(12)
-
N(14)+4=R(18)
Sequence: −1,+2,−3,+4
3. Applying Pattern to STAR:
Using the alternating and increasing sequence of shifts (−1,+2,−3,+4):
Resulting Code:
Correct Answer: Option D
