SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 3 Feb 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q94

In a certain code language, ‘JOVIAL’ is written as ‘QIECZF’ and ‘TENDER’ is written as ‘GYMXVL’.How will ‘STRING’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e., HNICMA.

Logic: 1st, 3rd, 5th letters of word are coded as the opposite letter, coded of 2nd, 4th, 6 letters of word = Place value of those letters - 6

‘JOVIAL’ is written as ‘QIECZF’

J ⇔ Q, O - 6 = I, V ⇔ E, I - 6 = C, A ⇔ Z, L - 6 = F

‘TENDER’ is written as ‘GYMXVL’

T ⇔ G, E - 6 = Y, N ⇔ M, D - 6 = X, E ⇔ V, R - 6 = L

Similarly,  ‘STRING’ is written as 'HNICMA'

S ⇔ H, T - 6 = N, R ⇔ I, I - 6 = C, N ⇔ M, G - 6 = A
