Question from BPSC PT 70, 2024
The correct answer is: c) EOJDJEFM
Explanation:
To decode how the word “COMPUTER” is transformed into “RFUVQNPC,” let’s analyze the pattern:
1. Reverse the Word:
– “COMPUTER” reversed is “RETUPMOC.”
2. Shift the Letters:
– First and Last Letters: The first letter ‘R’ and the last letter ‘C’ remain unchanged.
– Middle Letters: Each of the middle letters is shifted forward by +1 in the alphabet.
– E → F
– T → U
– U → V
– P → Q
– M → N
– O → P
– This transforms “RETUPMOC” to “RFUVQNPC.”
Applying the same pattern to the word “MEDICINE”:
1. Reverse the Word:
– “MEDICINE” reversed is “ENICIDEM.”
2. Shift the Letters:
– First and Last Letters: The first letter ‘E’ and the last letter ‘M’ remain unchanged.
– Middle Letters: Each of the middle letters is shifted forward by +1 in the alphabet.
– N → O
– I → J
– C → D
– I → J
– D → E
– E → F
– This transforms “ENICIDEM” to “EOJDJEFM.”
Correct Answer: c) EOJDJEFM
