Question

In each of the following questions, the second word is derived from the first word by applying a specific letter-coding pattern, such as shifting letters forward or backward in the alphabet. Identify the pattern and apply it to the third word to choose the correct answer from the options given. MASTER: OCUVGT:: LABOUR : ?

• A. NCDQWT
• B. NDERWT
• C. NBCRWT
• D. NEDRWT

Answer 1

Answer:

A. NCDQWT

The pattern is:

MASTER → OCUVGT

Each letter is shifted 2 positions forward in the alphabet:

• M → O

• A → C

• S → U

• T → V

• E → G

• R → T

Apply the same rule to LABOUR:

• L → N

• A → C

• B → D

• O → Q

• U → W

• R → T

So,

LABOUR → NCDQWT

Answer: NCDQWT
