Example 1: Forward letter shift code
Last Updated On: Sat Aug 29 2026Given Data
- In a certain code language, 'STORM' is written as 'UVQTO'.
Question
How will 'CLOUD' be written in that same code language?
Answer
ENQWF.
Solution
- Analyze the shift for each letter in 'STORM':
- S (+2) = U
- T (+2) = V
- O (+2) = Q
- R (+2) = T
- M (+2) = O
- Each letter is moved forward by 2 positions in alphabetical order (+2 shift).
- Apply the same +2 shift to 'CLOUD':
- C (+2) = E
- L (+2) = N
- O (+2) = Q
- U (+2) = W
- D (+2) = F
- Therefore, 'CLOUD' is coded as 'ENQWF'.
