code for o is m

Question:

In a confidential code, ‘GET AWAY, FIRE BACKWARDS, MOVE SLOW' is coded as ‘BEN CDCS, QHOE PCTLDCOXU, ZMWE UFMD’.

In this code, which of the following could be a possible code for the word ‘METHOD’?

Options:
A) ZENTMX 
B) ZENDMX
C) ZENIMX 
D) ZENHMX
Solution:
Ans (c) ZENIMX 

Code for given letters 

G ⟶ B

E ⟶ E

T ⟶ N 

A ⟶ C 

W ⟶ D

Y ⟶ S

F ⟶ Q

I ⟶ H

R ⟶ O 

B ⟶ P 

C ⟶ T 

K ⟶ L 

D ⟶ X 

M ⟶ Z 

O ⟶ M 

V ⟶ W 

S ⟶ U 

L ⟶ F 


Now, for 'METHOD'

M   E   T   H   O   D

 ↓    ↓   ↓    ↓   ↓   ↓

Z    E   N   I   M  X


By checking options we can get code for  'H'.

from (i),

'T' Cannot be code for 'H' because its for 'N' 


from (ii), 

'D' Cannot be code for 'H' because it is for 'W'.


from (iv) 

'H' Cannot be code for 'H' because it is for 'I'.


So, 

from (iii) we can say that 'I' is code for 'H'.


Hence, 

METHOD ⟶ ZENIMX
