General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7084 (CAT-I)

In a certain code language, if 'FLOWER' is coded as 'EKNVDQ', then how would 'GARDEN' be coded in the same language?

A FZQCEM
B FZQCEM
C FZQBDM
D FYQBDM
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option C
• The pattern followed is that each letter in the word is shifted one position backward in the alphabet. • F (-1) → E • L (-1) → K • O (-1) → N • W (-1) → V • E (-1) → D • R (-1) → Q • Applying the same pattern to 'GARDEN': • G (-1) → F • A (-1) → Z (A wraps around to Z) • R (-1) → Q • D (-1) → C • E (-1) → D • N (-1) → M • So, 'GARDEN' is coded as 'FZQBDM'.
