Question Statement:

In a certain code language, if 'PLANT' is coded as 'QMBOU' (each letter shifted by $+1$), how will 'GRAIN' be coded in that same system?

Options:

  • (A) HSBJO
  • (B) FQZHM
  • (C) ITCKP
  • (D) HRBJO

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Each letter is shifted by $+1$ position forward in the English alphabet: - $\text{G} \to \text{H}$ - $\text{R} \to \text{S}$ - $\text{A} \to \text{B}$ - $\text{I} \to \text{J}$ - $\text{N} \to \text{O}$ Thus, 'GRAIN' is coded as 'HSBJO'.
