If ‘ZERO’ is written as ‘CHUR’, then how is ‘PLAYER’ written?

1. A. SOCACT
2. B. SODBGT
3. C. SODBHT
4. D. SODBHU

Answer: D

Explanation

To decode the pattern, let’s compare the letters of ‘ZERO’ and ‘CHUR’:
Z (26th letter) + 3 = C (3rd letter, wrapping around A, B, C)
E (5th letter) + 3 = H (8th letter)
R (18th letter) + 3 = U (21st letter)
O (15th letter) + 3 = R (18th letter)
The pattern is to shift each letter forward by 3 positions in the alphabet. Applying this rule to ‘PLAYER’:
P (16th) + 3 = S (19th)
L (12th) + 3 = O (15th)
A (1st) + 3 = D (4th)
Y (25th) + 3 = B (2nd, wrapping around Z, A, B)
E (5th) + 3 = H (8th)
R (18th) + 3 = U (21st)
Thus, ‘PLAYER’ is written as ‘SODBHU’.
