General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7082 (CAT-I)

In a certain code, 'MONKEY' is written as 'XDJMNL'. How is 'TIGER' written in that code?

A QDFHS
B QDGHS
C QDFHR
D QDEHS
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The pattern followed is a reverse alphabetical order with a shift. • The word 'MONKEY' is reversed to 'YEK NOM'. • Then each letter is shifted -1 position: • Y (-1) → X • E (-1) → D • K (-1) → J • N (-1) → M • O (-1) → N • M (-1) → L • So, 'MONKEY' becomes 'XDJMNL'. • Applying the same pattern to 'TIGER': • First, reverse the word: 'REGIT' • Now, shift each letter -1 position: • R (-1) → Q • E (-1) → D • G (-1) → F • I (-1) → H • T (-1) → S • So, 'TIGER' is coded as 'QDFHS'.
