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

To solve the problem of finding the code for "POND" using the code pattern from the words "PROVIDE" and "PLATE," let's analyze the given examples.

Step 1: Understanding the Code Pattern

  • "PROVIDE" is coded as "QSPWJEF".
  • "PLATE" is coded as "QMBUF".

Notice that each letter in the given words is mapped to a new letter. We need to identify this pattern.

Step 2: Establish the Coding Rule

  • Compare each corresponding letter of "PROVIDE" and "QSPWJEF":
    • P → Q
    • R → S
    • O → P
    • V → W
    • I → J
    • D → E
    • E → F
  • Analysis: Each letter is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet (i.e., applying the +1 position shift).

Step 3: Code the Word "POND"

  • Using the pattern we identified, each letter in "POND" is shifted by +1 position:
    • P → Q
    • O → P
    • N → O
    • D → E

So, the code for "POND" is QPOE, matching the given correct answer option.

Conclusion

Therefore, the correct code for "POND" is \(QPOE\). The rule used involves simply shifting each alphabet by one position forward in the alphabetical order.
