If 'TABLE' is coded as 'UBCMF', how will 'CHAIR' be coded in the same language?
DIBJS
DIJBS
DJIBS
DIBSI
DIBJS
Observe the first and last letters: T+1=U and E+1=F. Simply apply +1 to every letter in the word to obtain the code.
Observe the first and last letters: T+1=U and E+1=F. Simply apply +1 to every letter in the word to obtain the code.
Analyze the pattern in TABLE
Each letter in TABLE is shifted by +1 to get UBCMF: T+1=U, A+1=B, B+1=C, L+1=M, E+1=F.
Apply the pattern to CHAIR
Applying +1 to each letter of CHAIR: C+1=D, H+1=I, A+1=B, I+1=J, R+1=S. The resulting word is DIBJS.
B is incorrect because it swaps the order of J and B. C is incorrect because it uses G instead of I and shifts letters incorrectly. D is incorrect because it changes the order of the last two letters.
A is correct because applying a consistent +1 shift to every letter in CHAIR results in DIBJS.
In coding-decoding, always check the first and last letters first as they often reveal the pattern shift instantly, saving time on full word analysis.
