In certain code language “BFHMT” is written as “AEIOU”. Then what is the code for the word "HIDDEN"?
Let's check if there is some shift in position.
BFHMT = 2 6 8 13 20
AEIOU = 1 5 9 15 21
-1 -1 +1 +2 +1
There is no pattern visible. In the coded form of a given word, we only have vowels. B is given A, F is given E, and H is given I. This looks like some nearest vowel.
Let's check for the other two letters,
13 (M) is between two vowels, 9 (I) and 15(O). 13 is closer to 15.
20(T) is between two vowels, 15(O) and 21(U). 20 is closer to 21.
So, it is the closest vowel pattern.
HIDDEN = 8 9 4 4 5 14
So, H is close to I; I is itself a vowel; D is closer to E than A, E is itself a vowel, and lastly, N is close to O.
The closest vowels are IIEEEO.
