Question

If in a certain code CAT is written as DBU then DOG will be written as:

1. A. EOH
2. B. DHP
3. C. EPH (Correct answer)
4. D. HPE

Correct Answer

Option C — EPH

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is EPH.

Key Points

• Compare CAT with its code DBU letter by letter: C → D, A → B, T → U. Every letter moves one place forward.
• Applying the same shift to DOG: D → E, O → P, G → H, giving EPH.

Additional Information

• Write the alphabet with position numbers (A=1 … Z=26) before starting the reasoning section; nearly every coding question then becomes arithmetic.
• Remember the alphabet wraps: Z + 1 returns to A, so subtract 26 whenever a position passes it.
• Other patterns to expect: fixed backward shifts, reversal of the word, opposite letters (A↔Z, B↔Y) and position-sum codes.
