In a specific cryptographic system, words are encoded using the following two distinct rules:
1. Consonants are replaced by the letter exactly two positions ahead in the English alphabet (e.g., B becomes D, K becomes M).
2. Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are replaced by the immediate next vowel in the sequence (e.g., A becomes E, U becomes A).
Based on this coding logic, match the words in List I with their correct encoded forms in List II.
- MAGICOEOIE
- BRAINDTEOP
- FLUTEHNAVI
- POWERRUYIT
Answer
The correct pairings are: MAGIC maps to OEOIE, BRAIN maps to DTEOP, FLUTE maps to HNAVI, and POWER maps to RUYIT.
Each word follows the stated logic precisely: consonants skip one letter forward (+2), and vowels transition to the next vowel in the standard sequence (A->E->I->O->U->A). Mapping each letter of the given words using these rules directly produces the coded forms identified in the correct pairings.
