In a certain code language, ‘PEN’ is written as ‘SHQ’. Using the same rule, match the words in List-I with their codes in List-II.
| List-I (Word) | List-II (Code) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | HAT | (I) | VXQ |
| (B) | SUN | (II) | MRE |
| (C) | MAP | (III) | KDW |
| (D) | JOB | (IV) | PDS |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
P → S, E → H, N → Q: every letter moves 3 places forward in the alphabet. Apply the same rule to each word.
(A) HAT: H → K, A → D, T → W ⇒ KDW → (III)
(B) SUN: S → V, U → X, N → Q ⇒ VXQ → (I)
(C) MAP: M → P, A → D, P → S ⇒ PDS → (IV)
(D) JOB: J → M, O → R, B → E ⇒ MRE → (II)
So the matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
