Q7. If 'ZERO' is written as 'CHUR', then how is 'PLAYER' written?

A. SOCACT
B. SODBGT
C. SODBHT
D. SODBHU✓ Correct

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option D
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'.
