Question

88. If BEAT - DXCG, then SAND -?
(1) HQCT
(2) QHTC
(3) QHTD
(4) IQCT​

Answer 1

Answer: option(2): QHTC

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the code for the word SAND first we need to understand the hidden pattern for the word BEAT.

The code for the word BEAT is given as DXCG.

Referring to the figure (i) attached below we can clearly see that the coding involves the following pattern,

Letter B → B + 1 →  C

Letter E → E + 2 →  G

Letter A → A + 3 → D

Letter T → T + 4 →  X

So, B is coded as C, e is coded as G, A is coded as D & T is coded as X and then the codes are rearranged as DXCG.

Now, similarly, following the above pattern, we will work out for the word SAND.

(refer to the figure (ii) for better understanding of the pattern)

Letter S → S + 1 →  T

Letter A → A + 2 →  C

Letter N → N + 3 → Q

Letter D → D + 4 →  H

Therefore, the code for the word SAND can be rearranged as QHTC.
