Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Given:
DELHI → 5613910

Step 1: Identify pattern

Check positions:

D = 4 → 5 (= 4 + 1)
E = 5 → 6 (= 5 + 1)
L = 12 → 13 (= 12 + 1)
H = 8 → 9 (= 8 + 1)
I = 9 → 10 (= 9 + 1)

👉 Pattern: Each letter → (Alphabet position + 1)

Step 2: Apply to MUMBAI

Positions:

M = 13 → 14
U = 21 → 22
M = 13 → 14
B = 2 → 3
A = 1 → 2
I = 9 → 10

Final Code: 14 22 14 3 2 10
