Question

In a certain code, "BOARD" is written as "CQBSF". How is "TRAIN" written in that code?

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

UTBJP

Here the shift is not the same for every letter, so the shift of each position must be read separately and copied to the new word position by position.

B (2) → C (3): +1
O (15) → Q (17): +2
A (1) → B (2): +1
R (18) → S (19): +1
D (4) → F (6): +2
Pattern by position: +1, +2, +1, +1, +2

T (20) + 1 = U
R (18) + 2 = T
A (1) + 1 = B
I (9) + 1 = J
N (14) + 2 = P
Code = UTBJP

Check: URCKO, USCKO and VSCLO use different shifts at the second, third and last places, so they do not follow the +1, +2, +1, +1, +2 pattern.

Hence, UTBJP.
