SSC Stenographer - 09 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q62

If 'LEMON' is coded as 'KDLNM', then how is 'MANGO' coded in the same way?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The pattern followed here is that each letter is shifted by -1 to get its coded letter:
• L − 1 = K
• E − 1 = D
• M − 1 = L
• O − 1 = N
• N − 1 = M
Applying the same logic to MANGO:
• M − 1 = L
• A − 1 = Z
• N − 1 = M
• G − 1 = F
• O − 1 = N
Therefore, MANGO is coded as LZMFN.
