About this MCQ
This Easy Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “If A=1, B=2, C=3, up to Z=26, what word is represented by 3-15-4-5?”
The accepted answer is A. CODE. “If A=1, B=2, C=3, up to Z=26, what word is represented by 3-15-4-5” is answered by CODE (option A). Option B (“CORE”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of CODE. Option C (“DOME”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of CODE. Remaining alternatives (COME) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once CODE is identified. Analytical Reasoning questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Analytical Reasoning recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
