Question: If \'PEN\' is coded as \'QFO\', how is \'PAPER\' coded?
Options:
QBPFS
QBOFS
QBOER
QBOFR
Correct Answer: QBPFS
Solution:
Each letter is shifted by +1. \'P\' to \'Q\', \'A\' to \'B\', \'P\' to \'Q\', \'E\' to \'F\', \'R\' to \'S\'. Thus, \'PAPER\' is \'QBPFS\'.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If 'PEN' is coded as 'QFO', how is 'PAPER' coded?
Step 1: Identify the coding pattern from the example. 'PEN' is coded as 'QFO'.
Step 2: Notice that each letter in 'PEN' is shifted by +1 in the alphabet: 'P' becomes 'Q', 'E' becomes 'F', and 'N' becomes 'O'.
Step 3: Apply the same +1 shift to each letter in the word 'PAPER'.
Step 4: Shift 'P' to 'Q'.
Step 5: Shift 'A' to 'B'.
Step 6: Shift 'P' to 'Q' again (the second 'P').
Step 7: Shift 'E' to 'F'.
Step 8: Shift 'R' to 'S'.
Step 9: Combine the shifted letters to form the coded word: 'QBPFS'.
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.
