Given Data

1. In a certain code language, 'HAND' is written as 'SZMW'.

Question

How will 'SILK' be written in that same code language?

Answer

HROP.

Solution

1. Check positional values and complementary pairs (sum = 27):
2. H (8) + S (19) = 27
3. A (1) + Z (26) = 27
4. N (14) + M (13) = 27
5. D (4) + W (23) = 27
6. Each letter is replaced by its opposite alphabetical pair.
7. Apply the opposite pair transformation to 'SILK':
8. S (19) -> H (8)
9. I (9) -> R (18)
10. L (12) -> O (15)
11. K (11) -> P (16)
12. Therefore, 'SILK' is coded as 'HROP'.
