Question

If `TIGER' is coded as `JUISF', how is `EQUAL' coded?

• A. \(PFXMB\)
• B. \(QGYNC\)
• C. \(OEWLA\)
• D. \(PGXMB\) \bigskip

Hint:

In coding questions, first check for simple patterns such as \textbf{alphabet shifts}, \textbf{reverse order}, or \textbf{position-based changes}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: In coding–decoding problems, letters are often shifted forward or backward in the alphabet. Each letter is replaced according to a specific pattern. Step 1: {\color{red}Observe the pattern in the given coding.} \[ T \rightarrow U \] \[ I \rightarrow J \] \[ G \rightarrow I \] \[ E \rightarrow S \] \[ R \rightarrow F \] Each letter in TIGER is shifted forward by one position in the alphabet. Step 2: {\color{red}Apply the same pattern to `EQUAL'.} \[ E \rightarrow P \] \[ Q \rightarrow F \] \[ U \rightarrow X \] \[ A \rightarrow M \] \[ L \rightarrow B \] Step 3: {\color{red}Write the coded word.} \[ EQUAL \rightarrow PFXMB \] Thus, the coded form of the word is: \[ \boxed{PFXMB} \] \bigskip
