This question was previously asked in
UPSSSC PET 2022 Question Paper (16-Oct-2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

XPOEFS

Coding Pattern Identification

The question asks us to find the coding pattern used to transform the word 'SCHEME' into 'TDIFNF' and then apply this pattern to the word 'WONDER'. Let's analyze the relationship between the letters of 'SCHEME' and 'TDIFNF'.

We compare each letter of the original word with the corresponding letter in the coded word:

Original Letter Coded Letter Shift
S T $+1$
C D $+1$
H I $+1$
E F $+1$
M N $+1$
E F $+1$

The analysis reveals that each letter in 'SCHEME' is shifted one position forward in the alphabet to get the corresponding letter in 'TDIFNF'. This is a consistent $+1$ shift (Caesar cipher with a shift of 1).

Applying the Coding Pattern to WONDER

Now, we apply the same $+1$ shift pattern to the word 'WONDER':

  • W $\rightarrow$ W $+1$ = X
  • O $\rightarrow$ O $+1$ = P
  • N $\rightarrow$ N $+1$ = O
  • D $\rightarrow$ D $+1$ = E
  • E $\rightarrow$ E $+1$ = F
  • R $\rightarrow$ R $+1$ = S

Following this pattern, the coded word for 'WONDER' is 'XPOEFS'.

Finding the Correct Option

Comparing our result 'XPOEFS' with the given options:

  • 1. POXEFS
  • 2. XPQFTF
  • 3. XOOESF
  • 4. XPOEFS

The calculated code 'XPOEFS' matches option 4.
