SSC GD Constable (English) - 27 Jan 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q71

In a certain code language, ‘HOUSE’ is coded as IQVUF, and ‘GARDEN’ is coded as HCSFFP. How will ‘ORANGE’ be coded in that language? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. PTBPHG.

The logic used here is:

‘HOUSE’ is coded as IQVUF

H + 1 = I

O + 2 = Q

U + 1 = V

S + 2 = U

E + 1 = F

‘GARDEN’ is coded as HCSFFP

G + 1 = H

A + 2 = C

R + 1 = S

D + 2  = F

E + 1 = F

N + 2 = P

Similarly;

Code for the word ORANGE:

O + 1 = P

R + 2 = T

A + 1 = B

N + 2 = P

G + 1 = H

E + 2 = G

Hence, PTBPHG is the correct answer.
