• B. If the statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If the statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. If the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is required.

Hint:

When solving coding and pattern problems, carefully analyze how each letter of the word changes and identify the shifts or operations applied to the letters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are given two examples of how words are coded in a certain code language. Let’s analyze the pattern in each case. - In the first example: QUEUE is written as RVFVF. Look at how each letter changes: \[ Q \rightarrow R, \, U \rightarrow V, \, E \rightarrow F, \, E \rightarrow V, \, U \rightarrow F \] Each letter is shifted by a certain value. Specifically, each letter is shifted forward by 1 position in the alphabet, except for the 3rd and 5th letters, which are shifted by 1 and 3 positions respectively. - In the second example: CRWTH is written as BQVSG. Let’s analyze the pattern of the shifts for each letter: \[ C \rightarrow B, \, R \rightarrow Q, \, W \rightarrow V, \, T \rightarrow S, \, H \rightarrow G \] Each letter is shifted backwards by 1 position.
By applying the same pattern to the word PROCESS:
- \( P \rightarrow O \) (shifted back by 1),
- \( R \rightarrow Q \) (shifted back by 1),
- \( O \rightarrow N \) (shifted back by 1),
- \( C \rightarrow B \) (shifted back by 1),
- \( E \rightarrow D \) (shifted back by 1),
- \( S \rightarrow R \) (shifted back by 1).
Thus, PROCESS is written as **OQNBDR** in the code language.
Therefore, the correct answer is \( \boxed{3} \).
