NIMCET 2026 — Reasoning PYQ

To decode the pattern, let's analyze the alphabetical shift for each letter in $INDIA$ compared to $JLGEF$:

• Pattern Analysis:

  • $I(+1)=J$

  • $N(-2)=L$

  • $D(+3)=G$

  • $I(-4)=E$

  • $A(+5)=F$

  • The logic follows an alternating series of addition and subtraction: $+1,-2,+3,-4,+5$.

• Applying the pattern to ROME:

  • $R(+1)=S$

  • $O(-2)=M$

  • $M(+3)=P$

  • $E(-4)=A$

Therefore, $ROME$ is coded as SMPA. The correct option is (a) SMPA.
