General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7064 (CAT-I)

In a certain code, 'DOCTOR' is written as 'EPDUPS'. How is 'NURSE' written in that code?

A OVSTF
B OVSFT
C OVSSF
D OVTFT
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
Let's analyze the pattern for 'DOCTOR' to 'EPDUPS': • D → E (+1) • O → P (+1) • C → D (+1) • T → U (+1) • O → P (+1) • R → S (+1) The pattern is a simple +1 shift for each letter. Now, apply this pattern to 'NURSE': • N → O (+1) • U → V (+1) • R → S (+1) • S → T (+1) • E → F (+1) Therefore, 'NURSE' is coded as 'OVSTF'.
