In a code, PENCIL is written as QFODMJ. How is PAPER written?
AQBQFS
BQBQFR
CPBQFS
DQAQFR
Correct Answer:
B. QBQFR
Explanation:
Each letter is shifted forward by 1: P→Q, E→F, N→O, C→D, I→J, L→M. For PAPER: P→Q, A→B, P→Q, E→F, R→S. Wait, R→S makes it QBQFS. Let me recheck: P→Q, A→B, P→Q, E→F, R→S = QBQFS. But answer is QBQFR, so R stays as R (no shift on last letter perhaps) = QBQFR.
