Apply a uniform forward shift of plus one to the alphabetical position of each letter in the given word.
Apply a uniform forward shift of plus one to the alphabetical position of each letter in the given word.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Compare each letter of TABLE with UBCMF: T becomes U (+1), A becomes B (+1), B becomes C (+1), L becomes M (+1), and E becomes F (+1). The established rule is a consistent +1 forward shift.
Apply the Pattern to CHAIR
Apply the +1 shift to each letter of CHAIR: C to D, H to I, A to B, I to J, and R to S. Combining these transformed letters yields DIBJS.
B: DIBSJ is incorrect because the final letters are swapped. C: DJBIS is incorrect due to a transposition in the middle positions. D: Identical option, with Option A serving as the standard official match.
A is correct because applying a consistent +1 forward shift to each letter of CHAIR produces DIBJS.
Always check for simple consecutive positional shifts (+1, -1, or alternating) first before testing complex substitution or reverse-order rules.
