Question:

If FRAGRANCE is written as SBHSBODFG, how can IMPOSING be written?

Options:

NQPTJHOJ

NQPTJOHI

NQTPJOHJ

NQPTJOHJ

Correct Answer:

NQPTJOHJ

Explanation:

The following table shows the position values of the alphabets:

 

F R A G R A N C E
6 18 1 7 18 1 14 3 5
S B H S B O D F G
19 2 8 19 2 15 4 6 7

Now, it can be easily observed that 2nd letter becomes 1st in the code after adding 1 in it, and so on. Whereas, the 1st letter becomes the last letter after adding 1 to it. So, after following the pattern the code comes out to be:

 

I M P O S I N G
9 13 16 15 19 9 14 7

 

14 17 16 20 10 15 8 10
N Q P T J O H J

We can also memorize the alphabets so that we do not do any calculation mistakes and also reduce the time to solve answers:
