Question

If TEAM is coded as UFBN, then WORK is coded as:

• A. XPSL
• B. XQSL
• C. XPSM
• D. XQTM

Hint:

In alphabet coding, check for consistent letter shifts (forward or backward) across the word.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

TEAM → UFBN:

Each letter in TEAM is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet: \[ \begin{aligned} \text{T} &\to \text{U} \\ \text{E} &\to \text{F} \\ \text{A} &\to \text{B} \\ \text{M} &\to \text{N} \end{aligned} \] So the pattern is: shift each letter +1 forward.

Apply the same to WORK: \[ \begin{aligned} \text{W} &\to \text{X} \\ \text{O} &\to \text{P} \\ \text{R} &\to \text{S} \\ \text{K} &\to \text{L} \end{aligned} \] Result: WORK → XPSL
