General Intelligence Coding and decoding Coding and decoding Question #7081 (CAT-I)

If 'PENCIL' is coded as 'QFOEJM', then 'ERASER' is coded as?

A FSBTFS
B FSBUFS
C FSAUFS
D FSATFR
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The pattern followed is that each letter in the word is shifted one position forward in the alphabet. • P (+1) → Q • E (+1) → F • N (+1) → O • C (+1) → D • I (+1) → J • L (+1) → M • Applying the same pattern to 'ERASER': • E (+1) → F • R (+1) → S • A (+1) → B • S (+1) → T • E (+1) → F • R (+1) → S • So, 'ERASER' is coded as 'FSBTFS'.
