MediumMCQ
The word $EXPAND$ is encoded using four different rules,resulting in four alternatives. $A$ word has been written in one of these codes. Identify the rule applied to the word $TRANSLATE$ to get the code $USBOTMBUF$.
A
$FYQBOE$
B
$EPDTCR$
C
$GYRBPE$
D
$CWNZLC$

Solution

(A) Let us analyze the transformation from $TRANSLATE$ to $USBOTMBUF$:
$T \rightarrow U$ (+$1$)
$R \rightarrow S$ (+$1$)
$A \rightarrow B$ (+$1$)
$N \rightarrow O$ (+$1$)
$S \rightarrow T$ (+$1$)
$L \rightarrow M$ (+$1$)
$A \rightarrow B$ (+$1$)
$T \rightarrow U$ (+$1$)
$E \rightarrow F$ (+$1$)
In this code,each letter of the word is shifted one step forward in the alphabetical order.
Comparing this with the given options for $EXPAND$:
$(a)$ $EXPAND \rightarrow FYQBOE$ (Each letter shifted +$1$)
$(b)$ $EXPAND \rightarrow EPDTCR$ (Reverse order + shift pattern)
$(c)$ $EXPAND \rightarrow GYRBPE$ (Odd +$2$,Even +$1$)
$(d)$ $EXPAND \rightarrow CWNZLC$ (Odd -$2$,Even -$1$)
Since the rule for $TRANSLATE \rightarrow USBOTMBUF$ is shifting each letter by +$1$,the corresponding code for $EXPAND$ following the same rule is $FYQBOE$.

$(b)$ Reverse the word and add $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ respectively: $D+1=E, N+2=P, A+3=D, P+4=T, X+5=C, E+6=K$. (Note: The provided option $EPDTCR$ follows a different pattern or is a specific variant).
$(c)$ Odd positions $+2$,even positions $+1$: $E+2=G, X+1=Y, P+2=R, A+1=B, N+2=P, D+1=E$. Code: $GYRBPE$.
$(d)$ Odd positions $-2$,even positions $-1$: $E-2=C, X-1=W, P-2=N, A-1=Z, N-2=L, D-1=C$. Code: $CWNZLC$.
Now apply these rules to $CONSULT$:
Rule $(a)$: $C+1=D, O+1=P, N+1=O, S+1=T, U+1=V, L+1=M, T+1=U$. Code: $DPOTVMU$.
Rule $(c)$: $C+2=E, O+1=P, N+2=P, S+1=T, U+2=W, L+1=M, T+2=V$. Code: $EPPTWMV$.
Comparing with the given target code $EPPTWMV$,it matches rule $(c)$.

MediumMCQ
If in a certain language $CARROM$ is coded as $BZQQNL$,which word will be coded as $HOUSE?$
A
$IPVTF$
B
$GNTRD$
C
$INVRF$
D
$GPTID$

Solution

(A) The pattern is based on shifting each letter of the word $CARROM$ by $-1$ position to get $BZQQNL$ $(C-1=B, A-1=Z, R-1=Q, R-1=Q, O-1=N, M-1=L)$.
To find the word for $HOUSE$,we must reverse this process by shifting each letter by $+1$ position:
$H+1 = I$
$O+1 = P$
$U+1 = V$
$S+1 = T$
$E+1 = F$
Thus,$HOUSE$ is coded as $IPVTF$.
Hence,the correct option is $A$.

MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$NEOMAN$ is coded as $OGRQFT$,which word will be coded as $ZKCLUP$?
A
$YJBKTO$
B
$XIAJSN$
C
$YIZHPJ$
D
$YIAQKJ$

Solution

(C) To find the pattern,compare $NEOMAN$ with $OGRQFT$:
$N + 1 = O$
$E + 2 = G$
$O + 3 = R$
$M + 4 = Q$
$A + 5 = F$
$N + 6 = T$
The pattern is $+1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6$.
To find the word for $ZKCLUP$,we reverse the process $(-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6)$:
$Z - 1 = Y$
$K - 2 = I$
$C - 3 = Z$
$L - 4 = H$
$U - 5 = P$
$P - 6 = J$
Thus,the word is $YIZHPJ$.
Hence,the correct answer is $C$.
107
MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$POPULAR$ is coded as $QPQVMBS$,which word would be coded as $GBNPVT$?
A
$FAMOSU$
B
$FAMOUS$
C
$FASOUM$
D
$FOSAUM$

Solution

(B) In the given code,each letter of the word $POPULAR$ is shifted by $+1$ to get $QPQVMBS$ $(P+1=Q, O+1=P, P+1=Q, U+1=V, L+1=M, A+1=B, R+1=S)$.
To find the word coded as $GBNPVT$,we need to shift each letter by $-1$:
$G-1 = F$
$B-1 = A$
$N-1 = M$
$P-1 = O$
$V-1 = U$
$T-1 = S$
Therefore,the word is $FAMOUS$.
108
MediumMCQ
If $ROBUST$ is coded as $QNATRS$ in a certain language,which word would be coded as $ZXCMP$?
A
$YWBLO$
B
$YYBNO$
C
$AWDLQ$
D
$AYDNQ$

Solution

(D) Analyze the pattern: $R-1=Q$,$O-1=N$,$B+1=A$ (Wait,let's re-examine the pattern).
Actually,the pattern is:
$R \rightarrow Q (-1)$
$O \rightarrow N (-1)$
$B \rightarrow A (-1)$
$U \rightarrow T (-1)$
$S \rightarrow R (-1)$
$T \rightarrow S (-1)$
So,each letter in the code is the previous letter in the alphabet compared to the original word.
To find the word for $ZXCMP$,we reverse the process by adding $1$ to each letter:
$Z+1 = A$
$X+1 = Y$
$C+1 = D$
$M+1 = N$
$P+1 = Q$
Thus,the word is $AYDNQ$.
109
MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$UTENSIL$ is coded as $WVGPUKN$,which word would be coded as $DMSFXG$?

$BKQDVE$

Solution

(D) In the given code,each letter of the word $UTENSIL$ is shifted by $+2$ positions to get the code $WVGPUKN$ $(U+2=W, T+2=V, E+2=G, N+2=P, S+2=U, I+2=K, L+2=N)$.
To find the word for the code $DMSFXG$,we need to shift each letter by $-2$ positions:
$D-2 = B$
$M-2 = K$
$S-2 = Q$
$F-2 = D$
$X-2 = V$
$G-2 = E$
Thus,the word is $BKQDVE$.
110
MediumMCQ
If in a certain code,$SWITCH$ is written as $TVJSDG$,which word would be written as $CQFZE$?
A
$BARED$
B
$BRAED$
C
$BREAD$
D
$BRADE$

Solution

(C) The pattern for coding $SWITCH$ to $TVJSDG$ is as follows:
$S (-1) = R$ (Wait,let's re-examine: $S+1=T, W-1=V, I+1=J, T-1=S, C+1=D, H-1=G$).
So,the pattern is: Odd positions $+1$,Even positions $-1$.
To find the word for $CQFZE$,we reverse the process:
$C (-1) = B$
$Q (+1) = R$
$F (-1) = E$
$Z (+1) = A$
$E (-1) = D$
Thus,the word is $BREAD$.
111

A
$ANMOMIUTNI$
B
$AMNTOMUIIN$
C
$AMMUNITION$
D
$NMMUNITIOA$

Solution

(C) To find the pattern,observe the word $REFRIGERATOR$ and its code $ROTAREGIRFER$.
The word $REFRIGERATOR$ has $12$ letters. The code is simply the original word written in reverse order.
To find the word for the code $NOITINUMMA$,we need to reverse the letters of the code.
Reversing $NOITINUMMA$ gives $AMMUNITION$.
Therefore,the correct word is $AMMUNITION$.
112
MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$REMOTE$ is coded as $ROTEME$,which word would be coded as $PNIICC$?
A
$NPIICC$
B
$PICCIN$
C
$PINCIC$
D
$PICNIC$

Solution

(D) In the word $REMOTE$,the letters are at positions $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$. The code $ROTEME$ is formed by keeping the $1^{st}$ and $6^{th}$ letters fixed,while swapping the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ letters $(EM \rightarrow ME)$ and the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ letters $(OT \rightarrow TO)$.
Applying the same logic to the code $PNIICC$ to find the original word:
$1$. Keep the $1^{st}$ letter $(P)$ and $6^{th}$ letter $(C)$ fixed.
$2$. Swap the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ letters $(NI \rightarrow IN)$.
$3$. Swap the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ letters $(IC \rightarrow CI)$.
Thus,$P + IN + CI + C = PICNIC$.
113
MediumMCQ
If $FULFNHW$ is the code for $CRICKET$,then $EULGH$ is the code for which word?
A
$PRIDE$
B
$BRIDE$
C
$BLADE$
D
$BLIND$

Solution

(B) To find the pattern,compare the letters of $CRICKET$ with $FULFNHW$:
$C (+3) = F$
$R (+3) = U$
$I (+3) = L$
$C (+3) = F$
$K (+3) = N$
$E (+3) = H$
$T (+3) = W$
Each letter in the code is $3$ steps ahead of the original word. Therefore,to decode $EULGH$,we must move $3$ steps backward for each letter:
$E (-3) = B$
$U (-3) = R$
$L (-3) = I$
$G (-3) = D$
$H (-3) = E$
Thus,the word is $BRIDE$.
114
MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$SHIFT$ is coded as $RFFBO$,which word would be coded as $LKUMB$?
A
$MMXQG$
B
$MLVNC$
C
$KJVLA$
D
$MJVLC$

Solution

(A) To find the pattern,compare $SHIFT$ with $RFFBO$:
$S - 1 = R$
$H - 2 = F$
$I - 3 = F$
$F - 4 = B$
$T - 5 = O$
Thus,the code is obtained by subtracting $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ from the positions of the letters in the word.
To find the word for $LKUMB$,we reverse the process by adding $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$:
$L + 1 = M$
$K + 2 = M$
$U + 3 = X$
$M + 4 = Q$
$B + 5 = G$
Therefore,the word is $MMXQG$.
115
MediumMCQ

$LOBNHMKZ$
C
$OCPMALNI$
D
$BNLOKZHM$

Solution

(D) The pattern involves dividing the word into pairs of letters and reversing the order of letters within each pair.
For $BLEACH$:
$(BL)(EA)(CH) \rightarrow (LB)(AE)(HC) = LBAEHC$.
Applying the same logic to reverse the code $NBOLZKMH$:
$(NB)(OL)(ZK)(MH) \rightarrow (BN)(LO)(KZ)(HM) = BNLOKZHM$.
116
MediumMCQ
If in a certain language,$GRASP$ is coded as $BMVNK$,which word would be coded as $CRANE$?
A
$FUDQH$
B
$HWFSJ$
C
$GVERI$
D
$XMV1Z$

Solution

(B) To find the pattern,compare the letters of $GRASP$ and $BMVNK$:
$G (7) - 5 = B (2)$
$R (18) - 5 = M (13)$
$A (1) - 5 = V (22)$ (cycling back through the alphabet)
$S (19) - 5 = N (14)$
$P (16) - 5 = K (11)$
Each letter in the code is $5$ positions behind the original word. To find the word for $CRANE$, we must move $5$ steps forward for each letter:
$C (3) + 5 = H (8)$
$R (18) + 5 = W (23)$
$A (1) + 5 = F (6)$
$N (14) + 5 = S (19)$
$E (5) + 5 = J (10)$
Thus, $CRANE$ is coded as $HWFSJ$.
117

To find the word for $SHDUO$,we must shift each letter backward by $3$ positions:
$S - 3 = P$
$H - 3 = E$
$D - 3 = A$
$U - 3 = R$
$O - 3 = L$
Thus,the word is $PEARL$.
118

Solution

(A) The pattern used is that each letter in the code is one position before the corresponding letter in the original word.
To decode $DWZLOKD$,we shift each letter one position forward in the alphabet:
$D + 1 = E$
$W + 1 = X$
$Z + 1 = A$
$L + 1 = M$
$O + 1 = P$
$K + 1 = L$
$D + 1 = E$
Thus,the word is $EXAMPLE$.

Reversing the first half $INTI$ gives $ITNI$.
Reversing the second half $MATE$ gives $ETAM$.
Combining these gives the code $ITNIETAM$.
Now,apply this to the code $TREVNIETARBI$ ($12$ letters). Split it into two halves: $TREVNI$ and $ETARBI$.
Reversing the first half $TREVNI$ gives $INVERT$.
Reversing the second half $ETARBI$ gives $IBRATE$.
Combining these gives the word $INVERTIBRATE$.
