BPSC – Combined Competitive Examination · Question 2
SPRING is written in a code as UNUFRC. How will the word MOBILE be written in that code language?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: (A) OMEFPA
Explanation
S(+2)=U, P(−2)=N, R(+3)=U, I(−3)=F, N(+4)=R, G(−4)=C. Applying the same shifts to MOBILE gives OMEFPA.
- (A) Correct
Correct: the pattern is +2, −2, +3, −3, +4, −4: M→O, O→M, B→E, I→F, L→P, E→A.
- (B) Incorrect
Wrong: only the first two letters fit; B+3 gives E, not P.
- (C) Incorrect
Wrong: M should shift +2 to O, so the code cannot start with M.
- (D) Incorrect
Wrong: does not follow the +2, −2, +3, −3, +4, −4 pattern at all.
