SSC CGL - 23 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q90

In a certain code language, ‘PAWAN’ is written as ‘SCZCQ’ and ‘SOHAM’ is written as ‘VQKCP’. How will ‘KIRAN’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

The logic used here is:

‘PAWAN’ is written as ‘SCZCQ’

P + 3 = S

A + 2 = C

W + 3 = Z

A + 2 = C

N + 3 = Q

‘SOHAM’ is written as ‘VQKCP’

S + 3 = V

O + 2 = Q

H + 3 = K

A + 2 = C

M + 3 = P

Similarly,

Code for the word KIRAN:

K + 3 = N

I + 2 = K

R + 3 = U

A + 2 = C

N + 3 = Q

Code for the word KIRAN = NKUCQ.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
