In a certain code, 'DOG' is 'GJR'. What is 'CAT' in that code?
FDW
FEW
FCW
GDW
FDW
Apply a uniform forward shift of plus 3 positions to each letter of the given word.
Apply a uniform forward shift of plus 3 positions to each letter of the given word.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Examine the transformation from DOG to GJR where each letter follows an alphabetical shift pattern.
Apply Pattern to CAT
Apply the plus 3 shift to each letter of CAT: C plus 3 is F, A plus 3 is D, and T plus 3 is W.
Form Final Code
Combining the transformed letters yields FDW, which directly corresponds to Option A.
B: FEW is incorrect because the middle letter A shifted by plus 3 results in D, not E. C: FCW is incorrect because the middle letter A shifted by plus 3 results in D, not C. D: GDW is incorrect because the first letter C shifted by plus 3 results in F, not G.
A is correct because applying a plus 3 alphabetical shift to each letter of CAT yields FDW.
Always check for uniform forward or backward alphabetical shifts before testing complex reverse or mixed coding rules.
