If LIGHT is coded as JGEFR, then how will SHORT be coded?

To solve this, we first analyze the pattern used to code 'LIGHT' as 'JGEFR'.

Step 1: Analyze the Pattern

Compare each letter of 'LIGHT' with 'JGEFR':

• L (12) → J (10): Shift backward by 2 (-2)

  I (9) → G (7): Shift backward by 2 (-2)

  G (7) → E (5): Shift backward by 2 (-2)

  H (8) → F (6): Shift backward by 2 (-2)

  T (20) → R (18): Shift backward by 2 (-2)

The pattern is a consistent backward shift of 2 positions for every letter.

Step 2: Apply Pattern to 'SHORT'

Apply the -2 shift to each letter of 'SHORT':

• S (19) - 2 = Q (17)

  H (8) - 2 = F (6)

  O (15) - 2 = M (13)

  R (18) - 2 = P (16)

  T (20) - 2 = R (18)

The coded word is QFMPR.

Correct Option: B
