SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q182

In a code language, 'GROUP' is written as ‘ETMWN’, and ‘PACTED’ is written as ‘NCAVCF’. How will ‘LIONS’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

The logic used here is:

'GROUP' is written as ‘ETMWN’

G - 2 = E

R + 2 = T

O - 2 = M

U + 2 = W

P - 2 = N

‘PACTED’ is written as ‘NCAVCF

P - 2 = N

A + 2 = C

C - 2 = A

T + 2 = V

E - 2 = C

D + 2 = F

Similarly;

Code for the word LIONS:

L - 2 = J

I + 2 = K

O - 2 = M

N + 2 = P

S - 2 = Q

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
