Q162
ReasoningCoding-Decoding
If DEVICE is coded as BAREXA and ORNATE is coded as ZVMESA, what will VIDEO be coded as?
  1. a.RIBAZ
  2. b.REBAZ
  3. c.RBEAZ
  4. d.ZABER

Answer: (B) REBAZ

It is a direct letter-substitution code. From DEVICE = BAREXA: D-B, E-A, V-R, I-E, C-X. From ORNATE = ZVMESA: O-Z, R-V, N-M, A-E, T-S. So VIDEO is written as R (V), E (I), B (D), A (E), Z (O) = REBAZ. Option (A) wrongly keeps I unchanged and option (D) is REBAZ written backwards.
