SSC CGL - 12 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q82

In a certain code language, ‘TANKER’ is written as ‘VCPMGT’, how will ‘SOCRATES’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. UQETCVGU

The logic used here is:

‘TANKER’ is written as ‘VCPMGT’

T + 2 = V

A + 2 = C

N + 2 = P

K + 2 = M

E + 2 = G

R + 2 = T

Similarly,

Code for the word SOCRATES:

S + 2 = U

O + 2 = Q

C + 2 = E

R + 2 = T

A + 2 = C

T + 2 = V

E + 2 = G

S + 2 = U

Hence, Option 1 is the correct answer.
