SSC GD Constable (English) - 10 Jan 2023 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q75

In a certain code language, ‘FINGER’ is written as ‘HHPIDT’, and ‘DESTINY’ is written as ‘ FDUVHPA’. How will ‘GRANTED’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ITZPVDF.

The logic used here is: Consonants = +2 and Vowel = -1

‘FINGER’ is written as ‘HHPIDT’

F + 2 = H

I - 1 = H

N + 2 = P

G + 2 = I

E - 1 = D

R + 2 = T

‘DESTINY’ is written as ‘ FDUVHPA’

D + 2 = F

E - 1 = D

S + 2 = U

T + 2 = V

I - 1 = H

N + 2 = P

Y - 1 = X

Similarly;

Code for the word GRANTED:

G + 2 = I

R + 2 = T

A - 1 = Z

N + 2 = P

T + 2 = V

E - 1 = D

D + 2 = F

Hence, ITZPVDF is the correct answer.
