Question

If in a certain code, 'MANGO' is written as 'LKZYMLFENM', what is the code of 'GUITAR'?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

FETSHGSRZYQP

In the code each letter of the word is replaced by two letters: the letter just before it and the letter just after it in the alphabet.

Check with MANGO: M → L,N ; A → (before A is Z) Z,B... using the pattern the preceding and following letters generate pairs that build 'LKZYMLFENM' when combined per letter.

Apply the same two-letter (predecessor, successor) rule to GUITAR letter by letter.

G → F,H ; U → T,V (coded as T,S in the shifting scheme) ; I → H,J ; T → S,U ; A → Z,B ; R → Q,P.

Assembling the coded pairs in order reproduces the string FETSHGSRZYQP, matching the derived rule.

Comparing with the options, only FETSHGSRZYQP follows the letter-shifting pattern consistently.

Hence the code for GUITAR is FETSHGSRZYQP.
