Question

In a certain code language, 'BOOK' is coded as 'DMRH' and 'WELL' is coded as 'YCOI'. How will 'TREE' be coded in the same language?

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
VPHB

To solve the problem of decoding the word 'TREE' using the code language pattern provided, let's first identify the pattern used to code the words 'BOOK' and 'WELL'.

Step-by-step Explanation:

  • The word 'BOOK' is coded as 'DMRH'. Let's examine the transformation:
LetterBOOK
Coded LetterDMRH
Alphabet Position2151511
Coded Position413188
  • The shift in letters is calculated as follows:
    • \(B \to D\): Shift of \(2\) positions forward.
    • \(O \to M\): Shift of \(-2\) positions backward.
    • \(O \to R\): Shift of \(3\) positions forward.
    • \(K \to H\): Shift of \(-3\) positions backward.
  • Now, let's analyze the coding for 'WELL' to confirm the pattern:
LetterWELL
Coded LetterYCOI
Alphabet Position2351212
Coded Position253159
  • The shift in letters is the same as the previous coding:
    • \(W \to Y\): Shift of \(2\) positions forward.
    • \(E \to C\): Shift of \(-2\) positions backward.
    • \(L \to O\): Shift of \(3\) positions forward.
    • \(L \to I\): Shift of \(-3\) positions backward.
  • Using the identified pattern (positions +2, -2, +3, -3), apply this to the word 'TREE':
LetterTREE
Alphabet Position201855
Coded Position221682
Coded LetterVPHB

The coded word for 'TREE' is 'VPHB'. Therefore, the correct answer is VPHB.
