If 'TABLE' is coded as 'UBCMF', how is 'CHAIR' coded in the same logic?
DIJBS
DIBJS
DIJCS
EIKBT
DIJBS
Apply a uniform forward shift of +1 to the alphabetical position of each letter in the given word.
Apply a uniform forward shift of +1 to the alphabetical position of each letter in the given word.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Compare the letters of TABLE to UBCMF: T(+1)=U, A(+1)=B, B(+1)=C, L(+1)=M, E(+1)=F. The rule is a consistent +1 forward shift for every letter.
Apply Rule to CHAIR
Apply the +1 shift to each letter of CHAIR: C(+1)=D, H(+1)=I, A(+1)=B, I(+1)=J, R(+1)=S.
Determine the Final Code
Combining the transformed letters in order gives DIBJS, which corresponds to Option B.
A: DIJBS has the third and fourth letters swapped incorrectly. C: DIJCS incorrectly replaces the third letter B with C. D: EIKBT uses an incorrect shift pattern instead of a uniform +1 increment.
B is correct because applying a +1 alphabetical shift to each letter of CHAIR (C → D, H → I, A → B, I → J, R → S) results in DIBJS.
Always verify positional order carefully during transcription to avoid minor transposition errors between similar options like DIJBS and DIBJS.
