SSC CHSL - 16 April 2021 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q100

In a code language, CANDLE is written as FMEOBD. How will FIXING be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. HOJYJG.

The logic used here is:

CANDLE is written as FMEOBD

First, reverse the code.

CANDLE = DBOEMF

C + 1 = D

A + 1 = B

N + 1 = O

D + 1 = E

L + 1 = M

E + 1 = F

Similarly;

Code for the word FIXING:

F + 1 = G

I + 1 = J

X + 1 = Y

I + 1 = J

N + 1 = O

G + 1 = H

FIXING = HOJYJG

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
