In a certain code, TAPE is coded as WDSH and SACK is coded as VDFN. What is the code for MANY?

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
PDQB

To solve this coding problem, let's analyze the logic used in the given examples:

  1. First, let's examine how "TAPE" is coded as "WDSH":
    • The letter 'T' is shifted to 'W' (3 positions forward).
    • 'A' is shifted to 'D' (3 positions forward).
    • 'P' is shifted to 'S' (3 positions forward).
    • 'E' is shifted to 'H' (3 positions forward).
  2. Next, let's consider "SACK" coded as "VDFN":
    • The letter 'S' is coded to 'V' (3 positions forward).
    • 'A' is coded to 'D' (3 positions forward).
    • 'C' is coded to 'F' (3 positions forward).
    • 'K' is coded to 'N' (3 positions forward).

Based on this pattern, each letter in the word is shifted 3 positions forward in the alphabet to form the corresponding letter in the code.

  1. Now, let's apply this pattern to the word "MANY":
    • 'M' goes to 'P' (M+3 positions forward in the alphabet).
    • 'A' goes to 'D' (A+3 positions forward).
    • 'N' goes to 'Q' (N+3 positions forward).
    • 'Y' goes to 'B' (Y+3 positions forward, wrapping around the alphabet).

Therefore, "MANY" is coded as PDQB.

Among the provided options, the correct coded representation of "MANY" is PDQB.
