SSC MTS - 15 July 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q81

In a certain code language, 'TALENT' is written as 'VXNBPQ', and 'HORDIN' is written as 'JLTAKK'. How will 'AKRPQB' be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CHTMSY.

The logic used here is:

'TALENT' is written as 'VXNBPQ'

T + 2 = V

A - 3 = X

L + 2 = N

E - 3 = B

N + 2 = P

T - 3 = Q

'HORDIN' is written as 'JLTAKK'

H + 2 = J

O - 3 = L

R + 2 = T

D - 3 = A

I + 2 = K

N - 3 = K

Similarly,

Code for the word AKRPQB:

A + 2 = C

K - 3 = H

R + 2 = T

P - 3 = M

Q + 2 = S

B - 3 = Y

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
