In a certain code language, PROBLEM is written as OQNAKDL. How is FLOWERS be written in that code language ?

Options

A. EMNVFQR
B. ELMYFQS
C. EKMXFQR
D. EKNVDQR

Answer

To solve the problem of how the word "FLOWERS" is written in the same code language as "PROBLEM" being written as "OQNAKDL", we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Code Pattern
First, we need to identify the pattern used in the code. We can see that each letter in "PROBLEM" is transformed into a different letter in "OQNAKDL".

### Step 2: Analyze Each Letter
Let's analyze how each letter in "PROBLEM" is transformed:
- P → O (P - 1 = O)
- R → Q (R - 1 = Q)
- O → N (O - 1 = N)
- B → A (B - 1 = A)
- L → K (L - 1 = K)
- E → D (E - 1 = D)
- M → L (M - 1 = L)

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

### Step 3: Apply the Same Pattern to "FLOWERS"
Now, we will apply the same pattern to the word "FLOWERS":
- F → E (F - 1 = E)
- L → K (L - 1 = K)
- O → N (O - 1 = N)
- W → V (W - 1 = V)
- E → D (E - 1 = D)
- R → Q (R - 1 = Q)
- S → R (S - 1 = R)

### Step 4: Combine the Transformed Letters
Now, we will combine the transformed letters to get the final code for "FLOWERS":
- E, K, N, V, D, Q, R

### Final Answer
Thus, "FLOWERS" is written as **EKNVDQR** in the code language.
