What is BRILLIANT?

Level 2

In a certain language, the word 'RARE' is coded as JBDG. The word 'PEOPLE' is coded as FFFRXH. Now find the equivalence of 'BRILLIANT' using the same language.

(Note: You might find it very easy. But take the challenge to guess the real sequence here. So, don't forget to post your best solution.)

'RARE'- 18-1-18-5

'JBDG'- 10-2-4-7

NOW- 'R'- 18+18=36, 36-26=10- 'J'

'A'- 1+'1'=2- 'B'

AGAIN WE CAN SEE

'PEOPLE'- 16-5-15-16-12-5

'FFFRXH'- 6-6-6-18-24-8

'P'- 16+16=32, 32-26=6- 'F'

'E'- 5+'1'=6- 'F'

SO, 'B'- 2+2=4- 'D'

AND 'R'- 18+'1'=19- 'S' SO WE GET ONLY ONE MATCH OF THE OPTIONS FROM THE FIRST TWO LETTERS

second alphabet of every word is preceding in code as A-B and E-F.....So R-S is in only D option so that one is the best suited answer for it......

It's not necessary to do the full math a Lil bit of logic comes handy as.... "Rare"is coded as "jbdg" the 2 nd letter 'a' changes to 'b' same happens in "people" to "fffrxh" 2nd letter changes from 'e' to 'f' thus to find the answer in word "brilliant " ,'r' should change to 's' which happens in only one choice making that the answer.

exactly!! Still can't figure out why is it level 2.
