General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7057 (CAT-I)

In a certain code, 'MIND' is written as 'KGLB'. How is 'ARGUE' written in that code?

A YPESC
B YPCSE
C YPESA
D YQESC
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
Let's analyze the pattern for 'MIND' to 'KGLB': • M → K (-2) • I → G (-2) • N → L (-2) • D → B (-2) The pattern is a simple -2 shift for each letter. Now, apply this pattern to 'ARGUE': • A → Y (A - 2 = Z, then Y) • R → P (R - 2) • G → E (G - 2) • U → S (U - 2) • E → C (E - 2) Therefore, 'ARGUE' is coded as 'YPESC'.
