About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “If A=1, B=2, up to Z=26, and each letter's number is increased by 2 to form the code, how is GOLD coded (converted back to letters)?”
The accepted answer is C. IQNF. “If A=1, B=2, up to Z=26, and each letter's number is increased by 2 to form the code, how is GOLD coded (converted back to letters)” is answered by IQNF (option C). Option A (“IPNF”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of IQNF. Option B (“HQNF”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of IQNF. Remaining alternatives (IQNE) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once IQNF 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.
