RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

vq

Compare the two statements to find the shared word and the shared code.

First statement words: jaw, bush, oven → codes ht, vq, xe.

Second statement words: zebra, egg, jaw → codes vq, db, ia.

The only word common to both statements is 'jaw', and the only code common to both code groups is 'vq'.

Therefore the common word must map to the common code.

Hence, 'jaw' is coded as vq.
