List - I (word) List - II (code) A. SUMMER I. BUSLRD B. MASTER II. VNSRLD C. STRONG III. BQSMFT D. NAGPUR IV. UPHRQM
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution Analysis
This question requires matching words from List-I (SUMMER, MASTER, STRONG, NAGPUR) to their corresponding codes in List-II (BUSLRQ, VNSRLQ, BQSMF, UPHRQ). The coding logic is demonstrated by the examples 'WONDER' coded as 'PESVMD' and 'MUSCLE' coded as 'VDFLRK'.
Decoding Pattern Identification
Analyzing the provided examples reveals a complex letter transformation rule. A simple fixed shift (Caesar cipher) or a consistent substitution cipher is ruled out because the mapping for the same letter (like 'E') changes between the examples ('WONDER' → 'PESVMD' shows E→M, while 'MUSCLE' → 'VDFLRK' shows E→K). The pattern does not appear to be a straightforward arithmetic sequence based on letter positions either.
- Example 1: WONDER (23, 15, 14, 4, 5, 18) → PESVMD (16, 5, 19, 22, 13, 4)
- Example 2: MUSCLE (13, 21, 19, 3, 12, 5) → VDFLRK (22, 4, 6, 12, 18, 11)
The complexity suggests a specific, possibly context-dependent, cipher rule.
Applying the Rule and Matching Lists
Given the intricate nature of the code and potential discrepancies noted in option codes (e.g., length mismatch), we establish the correct pairings based on the provided answer key.
The confirmed matches are:
- A. SUMMER matches with II. VNSRLQ
- B. MASTER matches with I. BUSLRQ
- C. STRONG matches with IV. UPHRQ
- D. NAGPUR matches with III. BQSMF
Conclusion
These pairings confirm that Option D is the correct answer.
