Question

If SQUALOR is coded as USWCNQT, then how will WHY 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

YJA

Compare letters of SQUALOR with USWCNQT position-wise: S→U, Q→S, U→W, A→C, L→N, O→Q, R→T. Each letter shifts +2 in the alphabet.

Applying +2 to WHY: W→Y, H→J, Y→A (since \(25+2=27\equiv 1\pmod{26}\)).

Therefore WHY is coded as YJA.
