In a certain code language, 'RSMPLDFN' is written as 'LLEGFWXE'. What is the code for 'XZBHQNTV' in that code language?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
RSTYKGLM

Decoding the Code: RSMPLDFN to LLEGFWXE

The problem presents a coding language where 'RSMPLDFN' is transformed into 'LLEGFWXE'. We need to determine the code for 'XZBHQNTV' following the same pattern.

Identifying the Coding Pattern

Let's analyze the transformation by looking at the positional shifts between the letters of the original word and the coded word. We assign numerical values to letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).

  • R (18) -> L (12): Shift = 12 - 18 = -6
  • S (19) -> L (12): Shift = 12 - 19 = -7
  • M (13) -> E (5): Shift = 5 - 13 = -8
  • P (16) -> G (7): Shift = 7 - 16 = -9
  • L (12) -> F (6): Shift = 6 - 12 = -6
  • D (4) -> W (23): Shift = 23 - 4 = +19 (or -7, wrapping around: 4 - 7 = -3; -3 + 26 = 23)
  • F (6) -> X (24): Shift = 24 - 6 = +18 (or -8, wrapping around: 6 - 8 = -2; -2 + 26 = 24)
  • N (14) -> E (5): Shift = 5 - 14 = -9

The pattern of shifts is a repeating sequence: -6, -7, -8, -9.

Applying the Pattern to XZBHQNTV

Now, we apply this repeating shift pattern (-6, -7, -8, -9) to the word 'XZBHQNTV'.

Original Letter Position Shift Calculation Coded Letter Position
X 24 -6 $24 - 6 = 18$ R 18
Z 26 -7 $26 - 7 = 19$ S 19
B 2 -8 $2 - 8 = -6 \implies -6 + 26 = 20$ T 20
H 8 -9 $8 - 9 = -1 \implies -1 + 26 = 25$ Y 25
Q 17 -6 $17 - 6 = 11$ K 11
N 14 -7 $14 - 7 = 7$ G 7
T 20 -8 $20 - 8 = 12$ L 12
V 22 -9 $22 - 9 = 13$ M 13

The coded word for 'XZBHQNTV' is 'RSTYKGLM'.


Final Answer Verification

The derived code 'RSTYKGLM' matches Option A.
