In a certain code, ALPHABET is written as TEBAHPLA. How is DECIPHER written in that code?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Examining the code pattern used for ALPHABET:

Original word: A-L-P-H-A-B-E-T

Coded word: T-E-B-A-H-P-L-A

Comparing the positions:

  • 1st letter A becomes 8th position
  • 2nd letter L becomes 7th position
  • 3rd letter P becomes 6th position
  • 4th letter H becomes 5th position
  • 5th letter A becomes 4th position
  • 6th letter B becomes 3rd position
  • 7th letter E becomes 2nd position
  • 8th letter T becomes 1st position

The pattern is: the word is reversed (written backwards).


Applying the same pattern to DECIPHER:

Original word: D-E-C-I-P-H-E-R

Reversing the letters:

R-E-H-P-I-C-E-D

Therefore, DECIPHER is written as REHPICED in that code.

The answer is Option 4: REHPICED
