SSC CHSL - 14th October 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q78

In a certain code language, if ‘BURMUD’ is written as ‘RKHCKT’, then how will ‘ANGLE’ be written as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. QDWBU

Understanding Application

The first and the last alphabet of the word are increased by 16 in the English alphabetical series and the rest are decreased by 10 in the English alphabetical series.

BURMUD is written as RKHCKT

B + 16 = R

U - 10 = K

R - 10 = H

M - 10 = C

U - 10 = K

D + 16 = T

Thus, the code for ANGLE will be:

A + 16 = Q

N - 10 = D

G - 10 = W

L - 10 = B

E + 16 = U

Hence, the correct answer is QDWBU.
