This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (20-Dec-2018) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Bloat

 To solve this question, we need to decode the pattern or mapping between numbers and letters provided in the example. Let's break down the given problem:

The sequence \(7, 13, 12, 14, 6\) corresponds to the word "Flame". We need to find out what word the sequence \(3, 13, 16, 2, 21\) decodes to from the given options.

Step-by-step Decoding:

  1. For the word "Flame", let's assign each letter to the corresponding number to see the pattern:
    • \(F=6\), but given as \(7\) (It seems they use 1-based indexing for letters)
    • \(L=12\)
    • \(A=1\) but represented as \(13\) after offset
    • \(M=13\) but is shown as \(14\)
    • \(E=5\), given as \(6\) after shifting
  2. Apply similar logic to the sequence \(3, 13, 16, 2, 21\):
    • First number \(3\): Corresponds to B (since 2+1 shifting)
    • Second number \(13\): Corresponds to L
    • Third number \(16\): Corresponds to O (15 before correcting for offsets)
    • Fourth number \(2\): Corresponds to A (1+1 for shift)
    • Fifth number \(21\): Corresponds to T (20 before correcting)

By matching these to letters, the sequence \(3, 13, 16, 2, 21\) decodes to "BLOAT".

Conclusion

Therefore, the word corresponding to the sequence \(3, 13, 16, 2, 21\) is Bloat.

Correct Answer: Bloat
