If "BORN" is coded as "APQO" and "LACK" is coded as "KBBL", then "GRID" will be coded is :

Options

A. FSEH
B. SFHE
C. FSHE
D. FHSE

Answer

To solve the coding problem where "BORN" is coded as "APQO" and "LACK" is coded as "KBBL", we need to identify the pattern used in the coding and then apply it to the word "GRID".

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Position of Each Letter**:
- Convert each letter to its corresponding position in the alphabet:
- B = 2, O = 15, R = 18, N = 14
- A = 1, P = 16, Q = 17, O = 15

2. **Find the Pattern**:
- Compare the positions:
- B (2) → A (1): -1
- O (15) → P (16): +1
- R (18) → Q (17): -1
- N (14) → O (15): +1
- The pattern alternates between subtracting 1 and adding 1.

3. **Apply the Pattern to "GRID"**:
- Convert "GRID" to its corresponding positions:
- G = 7, R = 18, I = 9, D = 4
- Now apply the same pattern:
- G (7) → 7 - 1 = 6 → F
- R (18) → 18 + 1 = 19 → S
- I (9) → 9 - 1 = 8 → H
- D (4) → 4 + 1 = 5 → E

4. **Combine the Results**:
- The coded letters for "GRID" are F, S, H, E.

5. **Final Answer**:
- Therefore, "GRID" will be coded as "FSHE".
