Question

In each of the following questions, the second word is coded from the first using a consistent letter substitution pattern (e.g., reverse alphabet cipher, positional shift, etc.). Identify the logic in the first pair and apply the same to find the correct code for the third WRITE : JEVGR :: WRONG: ?

• A. JEBAT
• B. JECAT
• C. JEDAT
• D. JEDAD

Answer 1

Answer:

A. JEBAT

Let’s decode the pattern from WRITE → JEVGR

Use reverse alphabet (Atbash cipher):
A ↔ Z, B ↔ Y, C ↔ X, ..., W ↔ D, R ↔ I, etc.

Now check:

• W → J? (Actually W ↔ D, so not direct Atbash)

Try another pattern: it is Caesar shift + repeated rule

Check positions:
WRITE → JEVGR

Letter shifts:
W → J (−13)
R → E (−13)
I → V (+13)
T → G (−13)
E → R (+13)

Pattern alternates: −13, −13, +13, −13, +13

Now apply same to WRONG

Letters:
W R O N G

Apply:

• W −13 → J

• R −13 → E

• O +13 → B

• N −13 → A

• G +13 → T

Final code:

JEBAT
