Apply a uniform forward shift of +1 to each letter of the given word to find the coded form.
Step 1: Identify the Pattern
Examine the letter shifts. Each letter in the target word is obtained by shifting the original letter forward by 1 position in the alphabet.
Step 2: Apply Shift to CHAIR
1: C (+1) → D, 2: H (+1) → I, 3: A (+1) → B, 4: I (+1) → J, 5: R (+1) → S.
Step 3: Combine and Match
Combining the transformed letters gives DIBJS, which matches Option A.
B: DIBSJ has the last two letters swapped incorrectly. C: DJBIS has the middle and end letters out of order. D: IDBJS incorrectly starts with the letter I instead of D.
A is correct because applying a +1 alphabetical shift to each letter of CHAIR produces DIBJS.
Always check for uniform forward or backward shifts across all letters before assuming complex alternating or positional rules.
