Coding Question

· by Cetking

If MONKEY → PROQACY, how will ELEPHANT be coded in the same language? PO 2009

A) HITQGGLW
B) HOQTGGLW
C) HQTGGLW
D) HQOTGGWL
E) HTGQGGWL

Answer: Wrong Question

The question is wrong because:

  1. The coding pattern from MONKEY → PROQACY does not follow a consistent positional rule (+3, +3, +1, +6, −4, +4), which is irregular and non-repetitive.
  2. No single uniform transformation (shift, grouping, or cyclic pattern) explains all letter changes logically.
  3. The pattern cannot be uniquely extended to a longer word like ELEPHANT (8 letters vs 6 letters), leading to multiple possible interpretations.
  4. Applying the most direct positional logic gives HOFVDEQW, which is not present in the options.
  5. Multiple alternative assumptions can lead to different answers, making the question ambiguous.
