PSBOHF
PSBOIF
PSBOHG
PSBOHD
PSBOHF
Apply a uniform +1 shift to the alphabetical position of each letter in the word.
Apply a uniform +1 shift to the alphabetical position of each letter in the word.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Observe the transformation from 'APPLE' to 'BQQMF'. Each letter's position in the English alphabet is incremented by 1: A(+1)=B, P(+1)=Q, P(+1)=Q, L(+1)=M, E(+1)=F.
Apply Pattern to 'ORANGE'
Apply the +1 letter shift to each character of 'ORANGE': O(+1)=P, R(+1)=S, A(+1)=B, N(+1)=O, G(+1)=H, E(+1)=F.
Form Final Coded Word
Combining the transformed letters yields 'PSBOHF', which directly matches Option A.
B: PSBOIF has an incorrect fifth letter I instead of H. C: PSBOHG has an incorrect sixth letter G instead of F. D: PSBOHD has an incorrect sixth letter D instead of F.
A is correct because applying a +1 shift to each letter of ORANGE sequentially yields PSBOHF.
Always check for forward or backward shifts by a fixed number or alternating increments when dealing with word-to-word coding questions.
