SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 89

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 7 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q89

In a certain code language, ‘ALGORITHM’ is written as ‘AGLOYHIMT’. How will ‘MALICIOUS’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e.  AILMJIOSU.

Logic: The first four and the last four letters are written in alphabetical order and + 7 is added to the middle letter

‘ALGORITHM’ → ‘A, G, L, O, (R + 7) = Y, H, I, M, T’ → AGLOYHIMT

Similarly, ‘MALICIOUS’ → A, I, L, M, (C + 7) = J, I, O, S, U → AILMJIOSU
