Question

SPRING is written in a code as UNUFRC. How will the word MOBILE be mentioned in that code language?

1. A. OMEFPA (Correct answer)
2. B. OMPGNC
3. C. MPQSUL
4. D. SEGRFT

Correct Answer

Option A — OMEFPA

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is OMEFPA.

Key Points

• This is a coding-decoding question testing letter-position logic.
• In the given code, SPRING is written as UNUFRC.
• Comparing the two words letter by letter reveals an alternating shift pattern applied to the alphabetical positions: alternate letters move forward and backward by a fixed number of places.
• Applying exactly the same rule to MOBILE — shifting its letters by the identical alternating pattern used to convert SPRING into UNUFRC — produces OMEFPA.

Exam Tip

• in BPSC and other state PSC reasoning sections, always write the alphabet with position numbers (A=1 … Z=26) in your rough sheet first.
• Once the numeric gap between each original letter and its coded letter is written down, the pattern (+2, −2, +3, −3 …) becomes obvious in seconds and you avoid guessing between similar-looking options.
