Question

If WRITE is coded as YTKVG , how is READ coded?

1. A. TGCF (Correct answer)
2. B. ZTCF
3. C. YTDF
4. D. YTCF

Correct Answer

Option A — TGCF

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is TGCF.

Key Points

• Compare WRITE with YTKVG letter by letter:
  • W → Y, R → T, I → K, T → V, E → G — every letter moves +2 places.
• Apply the same +2 shift to READ:
  • R → T, E → G, A → C, D → F
• The code is TGCF.

Additional Information

• Verify the rule on every letter of the worked example before applying it. A shift confirmed on only the first letter is exactly how the distractors here are built — YTCF and ZTCF each keep some letters correct.
• Shifts wrap around the alphabet, so Y + 2 = A and Z + 2 = B; subtract 26 when a position exceeds it.
• Other common coding families to test if a constant shift fails: reverse coding (A↔Z, B↔Y), positional-value substitution, and shifts that alternate in size between successive letters.
