In a certain coding language, the word ‘TRAIN’ is coded as ‘VPCGP’, then the word ‘PROUD’ will be coded as:

  1. A.

    QSPVE

  2. B.

    RPQSF

  3. C.

    RQPTF

  4. D.

    RQQSE

Attempted by 14 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

First, analyze the pattern in 'TRAIN' to 'VPCGP'. T (+2) becomes V, R (-2) becomes P, A (+2) becomes C, I (-2) becomes G, and N (+2) becomes P. The pattern alternates between shifting forward by 2 and backward by 2 positions. Apply this same alternating logic to 'PROUD': P (+2) becomes R, R (-2) becomes P, O (+2) becomes Q, U (-2) becomes S, and D (+2) becomes F. Thus, the code is RPQSF.
