If in a code MOTHER is written as PRWKHU, the shift applied is
Correct answer: B. three places forward
- A. two places forward
- B. three places forward
- C. three places backward
- D. one place forward
Explanation
M becomes P, O becomes R, T becomes W, H becomes K, E becomes H and R becomes U, every letter advancing by three. Checking all six letters rather than just the first is what confirms the rule. A backward shift of three would have given JLQEBO instead.

About Coding and Decoding
Coding and decoding questions replace letters, numbers, words or symbols with another pattern and ask you to identify the rule or decode a new item. Methods include alphabet positions, shifts, reversals, substitution, rearrangement, numerical values and separate rules for different parts of a code.
