Verbal Reasoning - MCQ Practice Questions

In MOTHER→RMOTEH: positions are rearranged as 6,1,3,4,5,2. Applying same pattern to SISTER (6 letters): S(6)→R, I(1)→S, S(3)→I, T(4)→S, E(5)→E, R(2)→T = RSISET

Letters are coded by their position in alphabet. C=3, A=1, T=20. Similarly D=4, O=15, G=7.

PAINT→QCMOU: P(+1)=Q, A(+2)=C, I(+4)=M, N(+1)=O, T(+1)=U. Pattern: +1,+2,+4,+1,+1. For GRAIN: G(+1)=H, R(+1)=S, A(+2)=C, I(+1)=J, N(+1)=O = HSCJO

Position in alphabet: B=2, O=15, O=15, K=11. For BACK: B=2, A=1, C=3, K=11 = 2-1-3-11

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.

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.

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.

SMART→TNBSU: S(+1)=T, M(+1)=N, A(+1)=B, R(+1)=S, T(+1)=U. Simple +1 shift. For BRAIN: B(+1)=C, R(+1)=S, A(+1)=B, I(+1)=J, N(+1)=O = CSBJO

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.

PLANET→TSYXPD: Reverse the word first. PLANET reversed = TENALP. T→T(0), E→S(-6 or wraps), N→Y(+11), A→X(+23 or -3), L→P(+4), P→D(-12). For MOBILE reversed = ELIBOM. E→Q(+12), L→Z(+14), I→O(+6), B→X(+22), O→J(-5), M→C(-10) = QZOXJC (approximately, with wrapping)

FRIEND→GSKFNC: F(+1)=G, R(+1)=S, I(+1)=J (no, K=11), E(+1)=F, N(+1)=O (no, N=14), D(+1)=C (no, E=5). Different pattern: reverse then modify. FRIEND reversed = DNEIVF. D→G(+3), N→S(+5), E→K(+6), I→F(-3), R→N(-4), F→C(-3). For DANGER reversed = REGNAD. R→E(-13 or +13), E→B(-3), G→O(+8), N→H(-6), A→Q(+16), D→S(+15) = EBOHQS (approximately with wrapping logic)

SOLUTION→UPMVYJRK: S(+2)=U, O(+1)=P, L(+1)=M, U(+1)=V, T(+1)=U (no, Y=25), I(+1)=J, O(+1)=P (no, R=18), N(+1)=O (no, K=11). Checking shifts: S→U(+2), O→P(+1), L→M(+1), U→V(+1), T→Y(+5), I→J(+1), O→R(+4), N→K(-3). Shifts of +1: O, L, U, I = 4 letters

EXPORT→GZRPSX: E(+2)=G, X(+2)=Z, P(+2)=R, O(+1)=P, R(+2)=T (no, S=19), T(+2)=V (no, X=24). Checking differently: E→G(+2), X→Z(+2), P→R(+2), O→P(+1), R→S(+1), T→X(+6). For IMPORT: I(+2)=K (no, J=10), M(+2)=O (no, option shows J or I), P(+2)=R, O(+1)=P, R(+2)=T (no, S), T(+2)=V (no, X). If consistent +2: IMRPSX but option C is JMRPSX. Checking I→J(+1), M→M(0), P→R(+2), O→P(+1), R→S(+1), T→X(+6) = JMRPSX

M→O, A→C, C→E, H→J, I→K, N→P, E→G. Each letter shifts 2 positions forward.

T→U, R→S, I→J, A→B, N→O, G→H, L→M, E→F. Each letter shifts forward by 1 position.

Each letter shifts forward by 1. C→D, O→P, L→M, L→M, E→F, G→H, E→F.

Vowels (I,E,E) move to consonant positions, consonants (N,T,R,N,T) move to vowel positions: N-T-R-N-E-T-I.

G→H(no, next consonant: G→H), A→(previous vowel: none before A), R→S, D→F, E→A, N→P. Wait recalc: G→H, A→(back to I or nothing-use A), R→S, D→F, E→A, N→P: HSAFAP. Recheck: consonants G→H, R→S, D→F, N→P; vowels A→(previous=none, stays), E→A. HSFAP. Given options suggest GBSHFO.

P→P(+0), R→D(+0 but shift pattern), O→U(+6), B→D(+2), L→F(+4), E→N(+9), M→K(+8). Following pattern: S→S, O→W, L→M, U→W, T→U, I→J, O→R, N→K gives SWMWUJRK close to option A.

Each letter shifts forward by 1: P→Q, E→F, N→O, C→D, I→J, L→M. Similarly: E→F, R→S, A→B, S→T, E→F, R→S gives FSBTSF (recalc gives FSBTSF but option shows FSBTZS - verify against pattern).
