In a certain code, MOTHER is written as NLGSVI. Using the same code, it follows:

(A) ANSWER: ZMHDVI

(B) STATES: HGZGVH

Choose the correct option:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The code pattern needs to be identified first using the given example MOTHER → NLGSVI.

Analyzing each letter transformation:

M (13th letter) → N (14th letter)

O (15th letter) → L (12th letter)

T (20th letter) → G (7th letter)

H (8th letter) → S (19th letter)

E (5th letter) → V (22nd letter)

R (18th letter) → I (9th letter)

The pattern is a reverse alphabet cipher where each letter is replaced by its mirror position:

For any letter at position nn: new position =27−n= 27 - n

This creates the mapping: A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, D↔W, E↔V, F↔U, G↔T, H↔S, I↔R, J↔Q, K↔P, L↔O, M↔N


Checking option (A): ANSWER → ZMHDVI

A (1st) → Z (26th) ✓

N (14th) → M (13th) ✓

S (19th) → H (8th) ✓

W (23rd) → D (4th) ✓

E (5th) → V (22nd) ✓

R (18th) → I (9th) ✓

Option (A) is correct.


Checking option (B): STATES → HGZGVH

S (19th) → H (8th) ✓

T (20th) → G (7th) ✓

A (1st) → Z (26th) ✓

T (20th) → G (7th) ✓

E (5th) → V (22nd) ✓

S (19th) → H (8th) ✓

Option (B) is correct.


Both (A) and (B) follow the same reverse alphabet code.

Therefore, the answer is Option 3: Both (A) and (B).
