Correct option is A
Let's analyze the pattern used in coding MADRAS → NBESBT and apply it to BOMBAY.
Step 1: Identify the transformation rule
Comparing each letter of MADRAS to NBESBT:
- M → N (+1)
- A → B (+1)
- D → E (+1)
- R → S (+1)
- A → B (+1)
- S → T (+1)
Each letter is shifted +1 forward in the alphabet.
Step 2: Apply the same pattern to BOMBAY
- B → C
- O → P
- M → N
- B → C
- A → B
- Y → Z
Thus, BOMBAY is coded as CPNCBZ.
Step 3: Match with the given options
The correct answer is (A) CPNCBZ.
