If 'TABLE' is coded as 'UBMDF', what is the code for 'CHAIR'? (2021)
Step 1: Identify the coding pattern used in the example. The word 'TABLE' is coded as 'UBMDF'.
Step 2: Notice that each letter in 'TABLE' is shifted by +1 in the alphabet. For example, T becomes U, A becomes B, B becomes C, L becomes M, and E becomes F.
Step 3: Apply the same +1 shift to each letter in the word 'CHAIR'.
Step 4: Shift C to D, H to I, A to B, I to J, and R to S.
Step 5: Combine the shifted letters to form the coded word. So, 'CHAIR' becomes 'DIBJS'.
Caesar Cipher – A method of encoding where each letter in the plaintext is shifted a certain number of places down or up the alphabet.
Letter Shifting – The process of replacing each letter with another letter that is a fixed number of positions away in the alphabet.
