Question

    In a certain code language, ‘OBLIGATE’ is coded as ‘QNAKICVG’. What is the code for ‘DOCUMENT’ in the same code language?

    A FMESOCPR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B FNEOLGPR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C GPEMKFPR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D FOCOLGPV Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic follows: First letter is replaced by second succeeding letter, then second letter is replaced with second preceding letter. Similarly. All alternate alphabets are replaced by second succeeding and second preceding letters as per the English Alphabetical series. For the word ‘OBLIGATE’ coded as ‘QZNGIYVC’. ‘O’ → ‘Q’ (second succeeding) ‘B’ → ‘Z’ (second preceding) ‘L’ → ‘N’ (second succeeding) ‘I’ → ‘G’ (second preceding) ‘G’ → ‘I’ (second succeeding) ‘A’ → ‘Y’ (second preceding) ‘T’ → ‘V’ (second succeeding) ‘E’ → ‘C’ (second preceding) Similarly, for ‘DOCUMENT’: ‘D’ → ‘F’ ‘O’ → ‘M’ ‘C’ → ‘E’ ‘U’ → ‘S’ ‘M’ → ‘O’ ‘E’ → ‘C’ ‘N’ → ‘P’ ‘T’ → ‘R’ Hence, the code for ‘DOCUMENT’ is ‘FMESOCPR’, and the correct answer is (a).
