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

To solve the problem of finding how 'TRANSFORM' is written in the given code language, let us first understand the pattern in the code language through the given examples.

The first example given is:

'INSTITUTE' is written as 'JOTUKWXWH'.

Let’s analyze this step by step:

  1. Observe the letters’ positions:
OriginalINSTITUTE
CodedJOTUKWXWH
Shift+1+1+1+1+2+3+3+2+3
  1. Pattern of shifts: Notice the individual letter shifts are not constant throughout the word. The first four letters have a consistent shift of +1, followed by variable shifts.
  2. The shifting pattern changes beyond the fourth letter, suggesting a specific rule starting from the fifth letter.

Let’s examine the second example for consistency:

'OPPRESSOR' is written as 'PQQSGVVRU'.

  1. Check the shift pattern:
OriginalOPPRESSOR
CodedPQQSGVVRU
Shift+1+1+1+1+2+3+3+3+3
  1. Determine the rule: Again, we see the first four letters shifted by +1, with a different pattern starting afterward.

Now, using this pattern to encode 'TRANSFORM':

  1. Apply the known shifts:
OriginalTRANSFORM
ShiftedUSBOUIRUP
Shift Values+1+1+1+1+2+3+3+3+3

Thus, 'TRANSFORM' is coded as 'USBOUIRUP'.

Conclusion: The correct option is 'USBOUIRUP'.
