SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 174

SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q174

In a certain code language, 'MAGNETIC’ is written as 'DJUFOHBN', and 'ELECTRIC' is written as 'DJSUDFMF'. How will 'LOCATION' be written in that language? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. OPJUBDPM.

The logic used here is:

'MAGNETIC’ is written as 'DJUFOHBN'

First, reverse the code.

MAGNETIC = NBHOFUJD

M + 1 = N

A + 1 = B

G + 1 = H

N + 1 = O

E + 1 = F

T + 1 = U

I + 1 = J

C + 1 = D

'ELECTRIC' is written as 'DJSUDFMF'

ELECTRIC = FMFDUSJD

E + 1 = F

L + 1 = M

E + 1 = F

C + 1 = D

T + 1 = U

R + 1 = S

I + 1 = J

C + 1 = D

Similarly;

Code for the word LOCATION:

L + 1 = M

O + 1 = P

C + 1 = D

A + 1 = B

T + 1 = U

I + 1 = J

O + 1 = P

N + 1 = O

LOCATION = OPJUBDPM

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
