Question

If ORANGE is coded as LOXKDB, then GRAPES is coded as:

• A. DQYNCP
• B. DRXRDB
• C. DOXMBP
• D. DNZNEP

Hint:

In alphabet coding, always compare the position changes of corresponding letters. Constant forward or backward shifts are among the most common patterns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Observe the alphabetical movement from each original letter to its coded counterpart. \[ O \rightarrow L \quad (-3) \] \[ R \rightarrow O \quad (-3) \] \[ A \rightarrow X \quad (-3) \] \[ N \rightarrow K \quad (-3) \] \[ G \rightarrow D \quad (-3) \] \[ E \rightarrow B \quad (-3) \] Thus every letter is shifted three positions backward in the alphabet.

Step 1: Apply the same rule to GRAPES. \[ G \rightarrow D \] \[ R \rightarrow O \] \[ A \rightarrow X \] \[ P \rightarrow M \] \[ E \rightarrow B \] \[ S \rightarrow P \] Hence \[ GRAPES \rightarrow DOXMBP \]

Step 2: Choose the correct option. \[ \boxed{\text{DOXMBP}} \]
