Correct Answer & Explanation
Option B
The pattern involves +1 for the first letter, +2 for the second, +1 for the third, and +1 for the fourth.
P (16) + 1 = Q (17)
L (12) + 3 = O (15)
U (21) + 2 = W (23)
M (13) + 1 = N (14)
So, for 'DATE':
D (4) + 1 = E (5)
A (1) + 3 = D (4)
T (20) + 2 = V (22)
E (5) + 1 = F (6)
Therefore, 'DATE' would be coded as 'EDVF'.
