SSC CHSL - 11 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q87

In a certain code language, 'MUZJIK' is coded as 'UCHRQS' and 'BLOWZY' is coded as 'JTWEHG'. What is the code for 'SQUAWK' in the given code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. AYCIES.

Logic: Add 8 to the positional value of each letter to get the code

MUZJIK is coded as UCHRQS.

M + 8 = U; U + 8 = C; Z + 8 = H; J + 8 = R; I + 8 = Q; K + 8 = S

BLOWZY is coded as JTWEHG

B + 8 = J; L + 8 = T; O + 8 = W; W + 8 = E; Z + 8 = H; Y + 8 = G

Similarly, SQUAWK is coded as AYCIES

S + 8 = A; Q + 8 = Y; U + 8 = C; A + 8 = I; W + 8 = E; K + 8 = S.
