Logical Reasoning Question on Coding Decoding
If 'EFGHUK' is the coded letter representing 'VUTSRQP', then choose the right code for the words given in the capital letters from the answer choices (1), (2), (3) and (4):
HIGH
A
STRS
B
SRTS
C
RSTR
D
RJHR
Answer
SRTS
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (B): SRTS
To decode "HIGH" using the established pattern, let’s analyze it step by step:
Identify the Coding Pattern: From the previous example, we learned the following mappings:
- E → V
- F → U
- G → T
- H → S
- U → R
- K → Q
Decode Each Letter in "HIGH":
- H : H corresponds to S (as established).
- I : Since I is not in the previous examples, we deduce it follows the backward pattern. I (9) would correspond to R (18).
- G : G corresponds to T.
- H : H again corresponds to S.
Combine the Results: Putting it all together:
- H → S
- I → R
- G → T
- H → S
So, "HIGH" is coded as "SRTS".
Thus, the correct answer is Option B: SRTS.
