SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

MZCNS

Pattern: Each letter alternates between +1 and -1 (with wraparound, Z→A = -1 and A→Z = +1 going backwards).

Verification with known pairs:

  • FACED → GZDDE: F(+1)=G, A(-1)=Z, C(+1)=D, E(-1)=D, D(+1)=E ✓
  • VACAY → WZDZZ: V(+1)=W, A(-1)=Z, C(+1)=D, A(-1)=Z, Y(+1)=Z ✓

Applying to LABOR:

  • L (+1) = M
  • A (-1) = Z (A − 1 wraps to Z)
  • B (+1) = C
  • O (-1) = N
  • R (+1) = S

LABOR → MZCNS

Correct Answer: MZCNS (Option 1)
