TEAM : SUDFZBLN :: PLAY : ?

This question was previously asked in
PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
OQKMZBXZ

The pattern between "TEAM" and "SUDFZBLN" is that each letter in "TEAM" is replaced by a sequence of letters that are found by skipping letters in the alphabet. Let's analyze this:

  • T becomes SUD (T + U + D)
  • E becomes FZB (E + F + Z + B)
  • A becomes L (A + L)
  • M becomes N (M + N)

The pattern involves a varying number of subsequent letters. Therefore, to find the equivalent for "PLAY", we follow the same logic:

  • P becomes OQKM (P + O + Q + K + M)
  • L becomes ZBX (L + Z + B + X)
  • A becomes Z (A + Z)
  • Y becomes (Y)

Following this pattern, the word representing "PLAY" should be "OQKMZBXZ". The pattern is not purely alphabetical; it's a more complex substitution that involves skipping letters and incorporates an irregular sequence of letter jumps. This irregular jump pattern is unique to this word puzzle, which makes each conversion unique.

Therefore, the correct answer is OQKMZBXZ.
