Question

If ZERO is encoded as ADSN, then how do you encode STOP?

1. A. SPOT
2. B. TSPO (Correct answer)
3. C. TSOP
4. D. POST

Correct Answer

Option B — TSPO

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Option B (TSPO).

Key Points

• ZERO → ADSN uses an alternating shift +1, −1, +1, −1: Z+1=A, E−1=D, R+1=S, O−1=N.
• Apply the same to STOP: S+1=T, T−1=S, O+1=P, P−1=O → TSPO.

Additional Information

• Spotting the alternating forward/backward shift is the trick; it gives Option B.
