About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “If in a code language GARDEN is written as KEVHIR (each letter shifted forward by four), how is MARKET coded in the same language?”
The accepted answer is B. QEVOIX. “If in a code language GARDEN is written as KEVHIR (each letter shifted forward by four), how is MARKET coded in the same language” is answered by QEVOIX (option B). Option A (“PEVOIX”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of QEVOIX. Option C (“QEVOIW”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of QEVOIX. Remaining alternatives (QDVOIX) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once QEVOIX 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.
