SSC CGL - 18 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q94

 In a certain code language, 'VIRTUE' is written as 'DBZBNX'. How will 'OMINOUS' be written?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. HUBVHNA.

The logic used here is:

Vowel - 7 = Code

Consonant + 8 = Code

'VIRTUE' is written as 'DBZBNX'

V + 8 = D

I - 7 = B

R + 8 = Z

T + 8 = B

U - 7 = N

E - 7 = X

Similarly,

Code for the word OMINOUS:

O - 7 = H

M + 8 = U

I - 7 = B

N + 8 = V

O - 7 = H

U - 7 = N

S + 8 = A

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
