SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
HKRWVI

To determine how the words are coded, we will first analyze the given examples:

  1. HONEY is coded as SLMVB

Let's break it down letter by letter:

Letter in HONEYCoded Letter in SLMVBOperation (Shift)
HS+11
OL-3
NM-1
EV+17
YB+3

The pattern here suggests alternating operations with specific shifts.

  1. PRESIDENT is coded as KIVHRWVMG

Let's break this down to identify the pattern:

PK-5
RI-9
EV+17
SH-11
IR+9
DW+19
EV+17
NM-1
TG-13

The operation is similar, with specific shifts across letters.

With this understanding, let's decode SPIDER:
