SSC CHSL - 13th October 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q100

In a certain code language, 'SECTION' is written as 'PHZQLRK'. How will 'HOSTELS' be writen as in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e ERPQHIP

Understanding Application

Logic:

Vowels + 3

Consonants - 3

SECTION is coded as PHZQLRK

S - 3 = P

E + 3 = H

C - 3 = Z

T - 3 = Q

I + 3 = L

O + 3 = R

N - 3 = K

Similarly for HOSTELS,

H - 3 = E

O + 3 = R

S - 3 = P

T - 3 = Q

E + 3 = H

L - 3 = I

S - 3 = P

Thus, the code is ERPQHIP
