In a code, "pen" is written as "mxk" and "pencil" as "mxkvt". How is "pens" most likely written in the same code, if the letter s is coded as "q" and the code is built letter by letter?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. mxkq
- Step 1: The word "pen" gives "mxk", so adding the coded letter "s" at the end gives "mxkq".
- Step 2: The code is applied letter by letter.
Answer
mxkq.
Why not the others: Leaving out the letter, putting it first or using the wrong code do not match the pattern.
