Matching Letter Shift Patterns

CMAT 2023 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Coding Decoding

Match List - I with List-II :

List I: (A) EMBARK (B) DECIDE (C) PEOPLE (D) SINGLE

List II: (I) QGPIJC (II) CKDCPI (III) NCQRJC (IV) BCEKBC

Choose the most appropriate option from those given below:

  1. A.

    (A)-(II); (B)-(IV); (C)-(III); (D)-(I)

  2. B.

    (A)-(I); (B)-(II); (C)-(III); (D)-(IV)

  3. C.

    (A)-(IV); (B)-(I); (C)-(II); (D)-(III)

  4. D.

    (A)-(IV); (B)-(III); (C)-(II); (D)-(I)

Answer

A

Explanation

EMBARK pattern: First 2 letters -2, middle 2 +2, last 2 -2: E(-2)=C, M(-2)=K, B(+2)=D, A(+2)=C, R(-2)=P, K(-2)=I →\rightarrow CKDCPI (II). Matching (A) with (II) immediately leads to option A.
