In a code language. TURN is written as STQM What is the code for LIMP?

Options

A. KHLP
B. KHNQ
C. KHLO
D. JHLO

Answer

To solve the problem of finding the code for the word "LIMP" based on the given coding pattern, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the coding pattern
We know that in the code language, the word "TURN" is written as "STQM". We need to analyze how each letter in "TURN" corresponds to each letter in "STQM".

### Step 2: Identify the relationship between letters
- T is coded as S: T (20) → S (19) → T - 1 = S
- U is coded as T: U (21) → T (20) → U - 1 = T
- R is coded as Q: R (18) → Q (17) → R - 1 = Q
- N is coded as M: N (14) → M (13) → N - 1 = M

From this, we can see that each letter in "TURN" is replaced by the letter that comes before it in the alphabet.

### Step 3: Apply the same pattern to "LIMP"
Now, we will apply the same coding pattern to the word "LIMP":
- L (12) → K (11) → L - 1 = K
- I (9) → H (8) → I - 1 = H
- M (13) → L (12) → M - 1 = L
- P (16) → O (15) → P - 1 = O

### Step 4: Combine the coded letters
Putting it all together, the code for "LIMP" is:
- K, H, L, O

### Step 5: Final answer
Thus, the code for LIMP is **KHLO**.
