Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If 'PENCIL' is coded as 'QFODJM', what is the code for 'PAPER'?
Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'PAPER'. The letters are P, A, P, E, R.
Step 2: Understand the coding pattern used in 'PENCIL' to 'QFODJM'. Each letter is shifted by +1 in the alphabet.
Step 3: Apply the same +1 shift to each letter in 'PAPER'.
Step 4: Shift P to Q (P -> Q).
Step 5: Shift A to B (A -> B).
Step 6: Shift P to Q again (P -> Q).
Step 7: Shift E to F (E -> F).
Step 8: Shift R to S (R -> S).
Step 9: Combine the shifted letters to form the coded word: Q, B, Q, F, S.
Step 10: The final coded word for 'PAPER' is 'QBFQS'.
Letter Shifting – The question tests the ability to recognize a pattern in letter encoding, specifically shifting each letter by a fixed number in the alphabet.
