In a certain code, 'TEMPORARY' is coded as 'PNFSQBSBZ'. How would 'COMMUNITY' be coded in the same language?
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
In the given code, each letter is shifted by a certain number of positions in the alphabet. Let's examine how 'TEMPORARY' is converted to 'PNFSQBSBZ':
- T → P (shifted back by 4)
- E → N (shifted forward by 9)
- M → F (shifted back by 7)
- P → S (shifted forward by 3)
- O → Q (shifted forward by 2)
- R → B (shifted back by 5)
- A → S (shifted forward by 18)
- R → B (shifted forward by 1)
- Y → Z (shifted forward by 1)
Step 2: Applying the same pattern to 'COMMUNITY'.
Using the same shifting pattern:
- C → D (shifted forward by 1)
- O → P (shifted forward by 1)
- M → N (shifted forward by 1)
- M → M (no shift)
- U → V (shifted forward by 1)
- N → R (shifted forward by 2)
- I → Z (shifted forward by 5)
- T → J (shifted forward by 9)
- Y → Z (shifted forward by 1)
Thus, 'COMMUNITY' is coded as 'DPNNVRZJZ'.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct code for 'COMMUNITY' is (1) DPNNVRZJZ.

- Six employees A, B, C, D, E, F are to be assigned to three projects (P1, P2, P3), each with exactly two employees, under the following constraints:
A and D cannot be together;
B must be with C or F;
E must be in a project different from C;
F cannot be in P1.

- There are six spherical balls, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6, and four circular hoops H1, H2, H3, and H4.
Each ball was tested on each hoop once, by attempting to pass the ball through the hoop. If the diameter of a ball is not larger than the diameter of the hoop, the ball passes through the hoop and makes a ”ping”. Any ball having a diameter larger than that of the hoop gets stuck on that hoop and does not make a ping.
The following additional information is known:
1. B1 and B6 each made a ping on H4, but B5 did not.
2. B4 made a ping on H3, but B1 did not.
3. All balls, except B3, made pings on H1.
4. None of the balls, except B2, made a ping on H2. Ananya Raga, Bhaskar Tala, Charu Veena, and Devendra Sur are four musicians. Each of them started and completed their training as students under each of three Gurus- Pandit Meghnath, Ustad Samiran, and Acharya Raghunath between 2013 and 2024, including both the years. Each Guru trains any student for consecutive years only, for a span of 2, 3, or 4 years, with each Guru having a different span. During some of these years, a student may not have trained under these Gurus; however, they never trained under multiple Gurus in the same year.
In none of these years, any of these Gurus trained more than two of these students at the same time. When two students train under the same Guru at the same time, they are referred to as Gurubhai, irrespective of their gender.
The following additional facts are known.
1. Ustad Samiran never trained more than one of these students in the same year.
2. Acharya Raghunath did not train any of these students during 2015-2018, as well as during 2021-24.
3. Ananya and Devendra were never Gurubhai; neither were Bhaskar and Charu. All other pairs of musicians were Gurubhai for exactly 2 years.
4. In 2013, Ananya and Bhaskar started their trainings under Pandit Meghnath and under Ustad Samiran, respectively.
