GATE CSE 2015 | Set 3 | GA | Question: 1

Question

If $\text{ROAD}$ is written as $\text{URDG}$, then $\text{SWAN}$should be written as:

• A. $\text{VXDQ}$
• B. $\text{VZDQ}$
• C. $\text{VZDP}$
• D. $\text{UXDQ}$

Comments

Caesar cipher.

ROAD  ------- URDG
+3 is shifted with each letter
R+3=U
O+3= R like that
So,

S + 3 = V

W + 3 = Z

A + 3 = D

N + 3 = Q
correct option - B

Answer 1

Option $B. \text{VZDQ}$

(every letter is replaced by the $3^{rd}$ letter in alphabetical order)

Comments

Option b is correct

Answer 2

The pattern of the given code is as follows:

• $R\xrightarrow{+3}U$
• $O\xrightarrow{+3}R$
• $A\xrightarrow{+3}D$
• $D\xrightarrow{+3}G$

in the same way:

• $S\xrightarrow{+3}V$
• $W\xrightarrow{+3}Z$
• $A\xrightarrow{+3}D$
• $N\xrightarrow{+3}Q$

Option $(B)$ is correct.

Answer 3

Easy question Answer B    VZDQ

Answer 4

Will give you a hint, so that you can think and then solve yourselves. You can use a trick in this question i.e of EJOTY(5,10,15,20,25). Now, Just compare R from ROAD, U from URDG. The difference is of only 3 spaces. Now do yourselves.

Final answer is B:VZDQ

Answer 5

Answer is basically Option B Because we can clear see each alphabet increment of addition of 3.

Answer 6

shift 3
