JOKE : GLHB :: RISK : ___}

• A. QHRJ
• B. SJTL
• C. ULVN
• D. OFPH

Hint:

Always verify the pattern for \textbf{all letters}, not just one or two.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: This is a coding pattern where each letter in the word is shifted by a fixed number of positions backward in the English alphabet. Step 1:Analyze the given example JOKE → GLHB.
Convert each letter into its alphabetical position: \[ J(10) \rightarrow G(7) = -3 \] \[ O(15) \rightarrow L(12) = -3 \] \[ K(11) \rightarrow H(8) = -3 \] \[ E(5) \rightarrow B(2) = -3 \] So, the rule is: each letter is shifted 3 places backward.
Step 2:Apply the same rule to RISK.
\[ R(18) \rightarrow O(15) \] \[ I(9) \rightarrow F(6) \] \[ S(19) \rightarrow P(16) \] \[ K(11) \rightarrow H(8) \] Thus, \[ \text{RISK} \rightarrow \text{OFPH} \]
Step 3:Match with options → (D)
Final Answer: OFPH
