This Medium Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “If in a certain code CAT is written as DBU, how is DOG written in that code?”
The accepted answer is C. EPH. “If in a certain code CAT is written as DBU, how is DOG written in that code” is answered by EPH (option C). Option A (“FPH”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of EPH. Option B (“EOH”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of EPH. Remaining alternatives (EPG) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once EPH 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.
