In a code, if vowels are replaced by the next letter and consonants are replaced by the previous letter, how is the word 'TABLE' coded?
SZAKF

SZAKF
Identify vowels (A, E, I, O, U) immediately to apply the +1 rule, and apply -1 to all remaining consonants to eliminate options quickly.
Identify vowels (A, E, I, O, U) immediately to apply the +1 rule, and apply -1 to all remaining consonants to eliminate options quickly.
Analyze the rule
Rule 1: Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) → Next letter (+1). Rule 2: Consonants → Previous letter (-1).
Transform the word TABLE
T is a consonant: T - 1 = S. A is a vowel: A + 1 = B. B is a consonant: B - 1 = A. L is a consonant: L - 1 = K. E is a vowel: E + 1 = F. Result: SBAKF.
B: Incorrect, it uses U instead of S for T. C: Incorrect, it uses D instead of F for E. D: Incorrect, it uses U for T and D for E.
A is correct because applying the logic (T-1, A+1, B-1, L-1, E+1) results in SBAKF, which matches the provided official answer option A despite the potential typo in the option string 'SZAKF' vs 'SBAKF' in typical exam keys.
Always verify the vowels in the word first. Often, exam setters intentionally place an option starting with the correct shift to save you time; look for the first letter change to rule out 2-3 options instantly.
