SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 01 Aug 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q90

In a certain code language, ‘BRING’ is written as ‘XHQLS’ and ‘EXTRA’ is written as ‘UBFHY’. How will ‘GRAVY’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e., SHYDA.

Logic: The pattern is to oppose the letters of the next letter of the alphabet dictionary

 ‘BRING’ is written as ‘XHQLS’

B becomes C, R becomes S, I becomes J, N becomes O, and G becomes H

C ⇔ X, S ⇔ H, J ⇔ Q, O ⇔ L, H ⇔  S

‘EXTRA’ is written as ‘UBFHY’

E becomes F, X becomes Y, T becomes U, R becomes S, and A becomes B

F ⇔ U, Y ⇔ B, U ⇔ F, S ⇔ H, B ⇔ Y

Similarly, ‘GRAVY’ is written as 'SHYDA'

G becomes H, R becomes S, A becomes B, V becomes W, and Y becomes Z

H ⇔ S, S ⇔ H, B ⇔ Y, W ⇔ D, Z ⇔ A
