Question

In a certain language, MADRAS is coded as NBESBT, how is BOMBAY coded in that code?

• A. CPNCBZ
• B. CPNCBX
• C. DPNCBZ
• D. DPNCBX

Hint:

In alphabetic shifting codes, observe the letter shift pattern and apply the same logic consistently to each letter.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given coding pattern follows this logic: - Each letter is shifted forward by one position in the alphabet series. \[ \text{M} \rightarrow \text{N}, \quad \text{A} \rightarrow \text{B}, \quad \text{D} \rightarrow \text{E}, \quad \text{R} \rightarrow \text{S}, \quad \text{A} \rightarrow \text{B}, \quad \text{S} \rightarrow \text{T} \] Applying the same logic to the word BOMBAY: \[ \text{B} \rightarrow \text{C}, \quad \text{O} \rightarrow \text{P}, \quad \text{M} \rightarrow \text{N}, \quad \text{B} \rightarrow \text{C}, \quad \text{A} \rightarrow \text{B}, \quad \text{Y} \rightarrow \text{Z} \]
Thus, the correct code for BOMBAY is CPNCBZ.
