SSC Stenographer 2026 PYQ — Question 85

SSC Stenographer - 10 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q85

In a code, FLOWER is written as GMPXFS.
How is GARDEN written in that code?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The pattern followed here is that each letter is shifted forward by 1 position (+1):
• F + 1 = G
• L + 1 = M
• O + 1 = P
• W + 1 = X
• E + 1 = F
• R + 1 = S
Applying the same logic to GARDEN:
• G + 1 = H
• A + 1 = B
• R + 1 = S
• D + 1 = E
• E + 1 = F
• N + 1 = O
Thus, GARDEN is coded as HBSEFO.
