In a certain code language, PLAN is written as MQZM. How is CODE written in the same code?

Answer: ZTCD
Explanation

Given:

PLAN → MQZM

We look at each letter:

P → M → (P is 3 steps before M) → P - 3 = M

L → Q → (L is 5 steps after Q) → L + 5 = Q

A → Z → (A - 1 = Z)

N → M → (N - 1 = M)

So the pattern is: –3, +5, –1, –1

Now apply this pattern to CODE:

C – 3 = Z

O + 5 = T

D – 1 = C

E – 1 = D

So, CODEZTCD
