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