UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

FSEX

To solve this coding-decoding question, we need to identify the pattern or rule used for coding the word "FIST" as "JMWX". Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. Identify the position of each letter in the alphabet:
    • F is the 6th letter
    • I is the 9th letter
    • S is the 19th letter
    • T is the 20th letter
  2. Identify the position of the corresponding coded letters:
    • J is the 10th letter
    • M is the 13th letter
    • W is the 23rd letter
    • X is the 24th letter
  3. Determine the shift in positions for each letter:
    • From F (6) to J (10): Shift of +4
    • From I (9) to M (13): Shift of +4
    • From S (19) to W (23): Shift of +4
    • From T (20) to X (24): Shift of +4
  4. Apply the identified pattern to the word "BOAT":
    • B (2) shifted +4 is F (6)
    • O (15) shifted +4 is S (19)
    • A (1) shifted +4 is E (5)
    • T (20) shifted +4 is X (24)
  5. Conclusion:

The word "BOAT" is coded as "FSEX" using the same rule. Therefore, the correct answer is FSEX.
