- A. EGPD
- B. EHRF
- C. FHPE
- D. DGOE

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.

The first letter is moved forward by 1 place, the second by 2 places, the third by 3 places, and so on. MATE is coded as NCWI. How is MATE coded using this rule?
Letters in odd positions stay unchanged, while letters in even positions move one place backward in the alphabet. How is FISH coded?
Each letter is replaced by the letter immediately before it in the alphabet, with A changing to Z. How is MATH coded?
Each letter is written as a two digit alphabet position, and the two digits are then reversed. For example, FISH becomes 60919080. How is CODE coded?
Each letter is moved forward by a number of places equal to its own alphabet position, using alphabet wraparound. BAT becomes DBN. How is LAMP coded?
First swap the letters in each adjacent pair, then move every resulting letter one place forward. For example, MATE becomes BNUF. How is FISH coded?
