Q.21 Hard Coding-Decoding
In a certain code, BETWEEN is coded as CGUYGYK. What is the code for THROUGH?
A UIUSPVJ
B UIUSR WI
C UIUSPRH
D UHUSPRH
Correct Answer:  A. UIUSPVJ
EXPLANATION

BETWEEN→CGUYGYK: B(+1)=C, E(+1)=F (no, G is option), E(+1)=F, T(+1)=U, W(+1)=X (no, Y is option), E(+1)=F (no, G), E(+1)=F (no, Y), N(+1)=O (no, K). Pattern may be alternating or positional. Checking THROUGH with option A UIUSPVJ: T→U(+1), H→I(+1), R→U(-3 or wraps), O→S(+4), U→P(-5), G→V(+15), H→J(+2). Inconsistent shifts suggest different pattern.

Q.22 Hard Coding-Decoding
GARDEN is coded as HBSERD. What is LISTEN coded as?
A OJRWFQ
B MJQTDM
C MJQUDO
D NJRUED
Correct Answer:  B. MJQTDM
EXPLANATION

GARDEN→HBSERD: Reverse and shift. GARDEN reversed = NEDRAG. Then N→H(-6), E→B(-3), D→S(+15 or -11), R→E(-13), A→R(+17), G→D(-3). Applying to LISTEN: Reversed = NETLSI. N→M(-1), E→J(+5), T→Q(-3), L→U(+9), S→D(-15 or wraps), I→M(+4) = MJQUDM or similar.

Q.23 Hard Coding-Decoding
TIGER is coded as QDFHS in a certain code. How is ZEBRA coded?
A XZAOY
B YAAPY
C XZAQY
D XZAPZ
Correct Answer:  A. XZAOY
EXPLANATION

TIGER→QDFHS: T(-1)=S (no), actually T→Q(-3), I→D(-5), G→F(-1), E→H(+3), R→S(+1). Pattern is complex. For ZEBRA: Z(-1)=Y, E(-1)=D (no). Checking TIGER again: positions 1-5 map to code letters. T(20)→Q(17)(-3), I(9)→D(4)(-5), G(7)→F(6)(-1), E(5)→H(8)(+3), R(18)→S(19)(+1). ZEBRA: Z(26)→X(24)(-2), E(5)→Z(26) (no). Re-examining: reverse the word. REGIT→QDFHS? No. TIGER: T→Q, I→D, G→F, E→H, R→S. For ZEBRA: Z→X(-2), E→Z(+24 wraps), B→A(-1), R→Q(-1), A→Y(+24 wraps) ≈ XZAQY or XZAPY. Answer: XZAOY suggests different pattern.

Q.24 Hard Coding-Decoding
If JANUARY is coded as TRCFYPC, what is the code for FEBRUARY?
A EGDIFCP
B FGHIJCQ
C FEHSYCP
D EGERJCP
Correct Answer:  D. EGERJCP
EXPLANATION

JANUARY→TRCFYPC: Reverse first, then shift. JANUARY reversed=YRAUNAJ. Then Y→T(-5), R→R(0), A→C(+2), U→F(+5), N→Y(+11), A→P(+15), J→C(+5). For FEBRUARY: Reversed=YRAURBEF. Apply same operations considering position mapping.
