If 'TABLE' is coded as 'UCBMF', then how is 'CHAIR' coded in the same language?

DJBSJ
DIBSK

Apply a uniform plus 1 forward shift to each letter of the given word in alphabetical order.
Apply a uniform plus 1 forward shift to each letter of the given word in alphabetical order.
Step 1: Identify the Coding Pattern
Analyzing TABLE to UCBMF shows that each letter is shifted forward by 1 position (T to U, A to B, B to C, L to M, E to F).
Step 2: Apply the Pattern to CHAIR
Shift each letter of CHAIR forward by 1: C becomes D, H becomes I, A becomes B, I becomes J, and R becomes S.
Step 3: Form the Final Coded Word
Combining the transformed letters sequentially produces DIBJS, which matches Option B.
A: DIBSJ is incorrect because the 4th and 5th letters (S and J) are swapped; C: DJBSJ has incorrect shifts for the 2nd and 4th letters; D: DIBSK incorrectly ends with K instead of S.
B is correct because shifting each letter of CHAIR forward by 1 position gives DIBJS.
Check uniform shifts or vowel-consonant alternating rules first when facing simple word coding problems.
