Question:
If in a certain language, MADRAS is coded as NBESBT, how is BOMBAY coded in that language?

Options:
(1) ANLAZX
(2) CPNCBZ
(3) CPOCBZ
(4) DQODCA

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to understand the coding pattern used to convert MADRAS to NBESBT. Let us analyze step by step:

---

Coding Pattern:

MADRAS → NBESBT

• Observe the relationship between corresponding letters in the two words:

1. M → N: The letter is shifted +1 in the alphabet.
2. A → B: The letter is shifted +1.
3. D → E: The letter is shifted +1.
4. R → S: The letter is shifted +1.
5. A → B: The letter is shifted +1.
6. S → T: The letter is shifted +1.

Thus, the pattern is +1 for every letter.

Applying the Pattern to BOMBAY:

B → C
O → P
M → N
B → C
A → B
Y → Z

Result: BOMBAY → CPNCBZ

Final Answer:

(2) CPNCBZ
