If 'MOUSE' is coded as 'NPTVF', what is the code for 'HOUSE'?

If 'MOUSE' is coded as 'NPTVF', what is the code for 'HOUSE'?

Correct Answer: IPTVF

Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'MOUSE'. They are M, O, U, S, E.
Step 2: Determine how each letter is coded. In the example, M is coded as N, O as P, U as T, S as T, and E as F.
Step 3: Notice that each letter is shifted by +1 in the alphabet. For example, M (13th letter) becomes N (14th letter).
Step 4: Now, apply the same coding rule to the word 'HOUSE'.
Step 5: Identify the letters in 'HOUSE': H, O, U, S, E.
Step 6: Shift each letter by +1: H becomes I, O becomes P, U becomes V, S becomes T, and E becomes F.
Step 7: Combine the coded letters to form the final code for 'HOUSE'. The coded letters are I, P, V, T, F.
Step 8: Therefore, 'HOUSE' is coded as 'IPVTF'.

Letter Shifting – The question tests the ability to recognize a pattern in letter coding, specifically shifting each letter by a fixed number in the alphabet.
