In a coding language, if 'TRAIN' is coded as 'UQBOJ', how is 'PLANE' coded?
QMBOF
QMBOF
QMBNF
QMBPF
QMBOF
Shift each letter forward by one position in the English alphabet (+1 pattern for all letters).
Shift each letter forward by one position in the English alphabet (+1 pattern for all letters).
Step 1: Identify the Coding Pattern
Each letter in the given word is shifted forward by 1 position (next alphabetical letter).
Step 2: Apply the +1 Rule to PLANE
P becomes Q, L becomes M, A becomes B, N becomes O, and E becomes F, resulting in QMBOF.
B: Duplicate of option A which is correct. C: QMBNF has N instead of O at the fourth position. D: QMBPF has P instead of O at the fourth position.
A is correct because each letter in PLANE is shifted forward by one position to give QMBOF.
Always check for simple consecutive shifts like +1 or -1 across all letters before looking for complex positional rules.
