Question

If BREAK is coded as YIVZP, then how will MANGO be coded?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
NZMTL

To solve this coding problem, we need to identify the pattern used to code 'BREAK' as 'YIVZP'.

Identifying the Coding Pattern

Let's compare the positions of the letters in the alphabet:

  • B is the 2nd letter. Y is the 25th letter.
  • R is the 18th letter. I is the 9th letter.
  • E is the 5th letter. V is the 22nd letter.
  • A is the 1st letter. Z is the 26th letter.
  • K is the 11th letter. P is the 16th letter.

Observe the sum of the positions for each pair:

  • B (2) + Y (25) = 27
  • R (18) + I (9) = 27
  • E (5) + V (22) = 27
  • A (1) + Z (26) = 27
  • K (11) + P (16) = 27

The pattern is that each letter is replaced by the letter whose position in the alphabet is 27 minus the original letter's position. This is known as the reverse alphabet cipher.

Applying the Pattern to MANGO

We apply the same reverse alphabet pattern to the word 'MANGO':

  • M: Position is 13. The coded letter's position is $27 - 13 = 14$. The 14th letter is N.
  • A: Position is 1. The coded letter's position is $27 - 1 = 26$. The 26th letter is Z.
  • N: Position is 14. The coded letter's position is $27 - 14 = 13$. The 13th letter is M.
  • G: Position is 7. The coded letter's position is $27 - 7 = 20$. The 20th letter is T.
  • O: Position is 15. The coded letter's position is $27 - 15 = 12$. The 12th letter is L.

Final Coded Word

Combining the coded letters, 'MANGO' is coded as 'NZMTL'.
