Observe the first and last letters: T+1=U and E+1=F, while internal letters follow the +1, +1, +1 pattern with a space inserted.
Observe the first and last letters: T+1=U and E+1=F, while internal letters follow the +1, +1, +1 pattern with a space inserted.
Analyze the pattern
In TABLE (T=20, A=1, B=2, L=12, E=5), the code is UC CMF. T+1=U, A+2=C, B+1=C, L+1=M, E+1=F. Actually, the pattern is: T+1=U, A+2=C, space, B+1=C, L+1=M, E+1=F.
Apply to CHAIR
C+1=D, H+1=I, space, A+1=B, I+1=J, R+1=S. Result is DI BJS.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the derived pattern DIBJS which aligns with the observed sequential increment of letters.
A is correct because the sequence follows a +1 increment for each letter with a space placed after the second letter of the input word.
When faced with coded strings including spaces, always check if the space is a constant separator or if the word was split based on a fixed count.
