SSC CHSL - 2nd July 2019 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q96

In a certain code, SLUMBER is coded as PORPYHO. How would PURPOSE be written in that same code?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. MXOSLVB

Understanding Solution
The letters at odd positions are moved backward by 3 and letters at even positions are moved forward by 3.

P – 3 = M

U + 3 = X

R – 3 = O

P + 3 = S

O – 3 = L

S + 3 = V

E – 3 = B

Hence, the code for PURPOSE is MXOSLVB.
