GATE 2018 · General Aptitude · Code Words · medium

Answer: DHLP is coded as HLPT. Answer: C.

  1. Determine the shift from AMCF -> EQGJ: A(1)->E(5): shift=4. M(13)->Q(17): shift=4. C(3)->G(7): shift=4. F(6)->J(10): shift=4. Shift = +4.
  2. Verify shift with NKUF -> ROYJ: N(14)+4=R(18), K(11)+4=O(15), U(21)+4=Y(25), F(6)+4=J(10). ROYJ confirmed.
  3. Apply shift +4 to DHLP: D(4)+4=H(8), H(8)+4=L(12), L(12)+4=P(16), P(16)+4=T(20). Code = HLPT.
