Question

If in a certain code, CAT is written as DBU, then DOG will be written as:

• A. EPH
• B. EOG
• C. FPH
• D. EPI

Hint:

In coding-decoding questions, write down the alphabet positions of letters if the shift is larger.
For simple $+1$ or $-1$ shifts, you can directly read the next or previous letters mentally to save time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Compare CAT with DBU letter by letter.
C goes to D, A goes to B, T goes to U.

Step 2: Spot the pattern.
Each letter moves one step forward in the alphabet.

Step 3: Apply it to D.
The letter after D is E.

Step 4: Apply it to O.
The letter after O is P.

Step 5: Apply it to G.
The letter after G is H.

Step 6: Put the letters together.
E, P, H gives EPH.

Step 7: State the answer.
DOG is coded as EPH. \[ \boxed{\text{EPH}} \]
