In a coding system, SHEEP is written as GAXXR and BLEAT as HPXTN. How ...
Solution:
The coding system used here is a letter substitution code, where each letter is replaced by another letter.
To decode the given code, we need to find the pattern followed in the coding of SHEEP and BLEAT.
SHEEP is coded as GAXXR
S -> G
H -> A
E -> X
P -> X
E -> R
BLEAT is coded as HPXTN
B -> H
L -> P
E -> X
A -> T
T -> N
From the above patterns, we can observe that:
- The first letter of the word is coded by moving 6 places forward in the English alphabet. For example, S is coded as G, B is coded as H.
- The second letter of the word is coded by moving 1 place forward in the English alphabet. For example, H is coded as A, L is coded as P.
- The third letter of the word is coded by moving 23 places backward in the English alphabet. For example, E is coded as X.
- The fourth letter of the word is coded by moving 1 place forward in the English alphabet. For example, E is coded as X, A is coded as T.
- The fifth letter of the word is coded by moving 14 places forward in the English alphabet. For example, P is coded as X, T is coded as N.
Using the above pattern, we can code SLATE as follows:
S -> G (move 6 places forward)
L -> P (move 1 place forward)
A -> T (move 23 places backward)
T -> N (move 1 place forward)
E -> X (move 14 places forward)
Therefore, SLATE is coded as GPTXN. Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.

Correct answer is 'C' becuase :-
S - G. B - H. S - G
H -A. L - P. L - P
E - X. E - X. A - T
E - X. A - T. T - X
P - R. T - N. E - N
VALUE OF S = G
VALUE OF L = P
VALUE OF A = T
VALUE OF T =X
VALUE OF E = N
