Question #2
If 'BOOK' is coded as 'CQQL', then 'NOTE' is coded as ?
A. OPUF
B. OPVF
C. OQVE
D. OPVE

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pattern: B+1=C, O+2=Q, O+2=Q, K+1=L? Not consistent. Let's use +1, +2, +2, +1. For NOTE: N+1=O, O+2=Q, T+2=V, E+1=F = OQVF. Options not match. We'll set correct OQVF. But option B OPUF no. Need fix options. Let's replace with consistent shift: If 'BOOK' coded as 'CPPL'? B+1=C, O+1=P, O+1=P, K+1=L. Then NOTE = OPUF. Use shift +1. So if BOOK=CPPL, NOTE=OPUF. Good.
