Question

If BOULDER is coded as ZMSJBCP, then how will ELK be coded as?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

CJI

Each letter of BOULDER is shifted back by 2 positions, with wrap-around (B→Z, O→M, U→S, L→J, D→B, E→C, R→P).

Applying the same shift to ELK: E(5)→C(3), L(12)→J(10), K(11)→I(9). Hence ELK is coded as CJI.
