Question:

In a certain code, BASIC is written as DDULE. How is LEADER written in that code?

Options:

NHCGGU

NGCFGT

OGDFHT

OHDGHU

Correct Answer:

NHCGGU

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → NHCGGU

Let's find the pattern from BASIC → DDULE:

  • B → D : +2
  • A → D : +3
  • S → U : +2
  • I → L : +3
  • C → E : +2

So the letters are shifted alternately +2, +3, +2, +3, +2, ...

Apply this to LEADER (6 letters):

  • L +2 → N
  • E +3 → H
  • A +2 → C
  • D +3 → G
  • E +2 → G
  • R +3 → U

Result: NHCGGU
