In a coding language, if 'APPLE' is coded as 'BQQMF', how is 'ORANGE' coded?
PSBOHF
PQBOHF
PSBOIF
PSBOGF
PSBOHF
Check the alphabetical shift between the first couple of letters to instantly identify the uniform forward shift pattern.
Check the alphabetical shift between the first couple of letters to instantly identify the uniform forward shift pattern.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Compare APPLE to BQQMF: A (+1) = B, P (+1) = Q, P (+1) = Q, L (+1) = M, E (+1) = F. The rule is a uniform +1 shift for every letter.
Apply Rule to ORANGE
Shift each letter of ORANGE forward by 1 position: O → P, R → S, A → B, N → O, G → H, E → F, yielding PSBOHF.
B: PQBOHF is incorrect due to an erroneous shift on the second letter. C: PSBOIF fails because of incorrect shifting in the ending letters. D: PSBOGF is incorrect because the letter G is left unchanged instead of shifted.
A is correct because each letter in the word is shifted forward by 1 position in the alphabet, transforming ORANGE into PSBOHF.
For coding-decoding questions, always check if the shift is constant or progressive across the word positions to save valuable time.
