General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7086 (CAT-I)

In a certain code, 'KEY' is written as 'LFZ'. How is 'LOCK' written in that code?

A MPDL
B MPDM
C MPDL
D MQDL
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The pattern followed is that each letter in the word is shifted one position forward in the alphabet. • K (+1) → L • E (+1) → F • Y (+1) → Z • Applying the same pattern to 'LOCK': • L (+1) → M • O (+1) → P • C (+1) → D • K (+1) → L • So, 'LOCK' is coded as 'MPDL'.
