Question:medium

When XEROX is coded as YFSPY then PAPER will be coded as?

Show Hint

Check how much each letter shifts between XEROX and YFSPY, then apply the same shift to PAPER.
  • QCRFS
  • QBQFS
  • RCQFS
  • RBRFS
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Assign each letter its position number, A = 1 up to Z = 26. XEROX becomes 24-5-18-15-24, and its code YFSPY becomes 25-6-19-16-25. Each number in the code is exactly one more than the original.
Step 2: Take PAPER and convert to numbers: P = 16, A = 1, P = 16, E = 5, R = 18.
Step 3: Add 1 to every number: 17, 2, 17, 6, 19, which correspond to Q, B, Q, F, S.
\[\boxed{\text{QBQFS}}\]
