In a code, TOWN is written as ZUCT. How is VILLAGE written in the same code?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. BORRGMK

  1. Step 1: Compare T with Z: the letter moves 6 places forward in the alphabet. Step 2. Check with O and U: the same shift. Step 3. Apply the shift to each letter of VILLAGE: V I L L A G E becomes B O R R G M K. Answer: BORRGMK. Why not the others: PCFFUAY: This moves each letter 6 places back instead of forward. BILLAGE: This shifts only the first letter. CPSSHNL: This shifts each letter 7 places instead of 6.
