In a certain code, TABLE is written as UCEPJ, then which of the following code would be written for CHAIR?

Look at the letters position by position. In TABLE, the first letter moves forward by 1 (T to U), the second by 2 (A to C), the third by 3 (B to E), the fourth by 4 (L to P), and the fifth by 5 (E to J). So each position shifts forward by one more than the position before it.

Apply the same rule to CHAIR:

• C + 1 = D
• H + 2 = J
• A + 3 = D
• I + 4 = M
• R + 5 = W

So CHAIR becomes DJDMW, which is option B.

Why the others fail: A (DKMNT) and C (KDFAT) break the shift sequence at one or more positions. D (KCGOD) starts with K, but the first letter should be D under a +1 shift. A single mismatch is enough to eliminate any option, so check every position.

Core concept: letter coding with a progressive shift, a standard alphanumeric reasoning pattern. Build the habit of testing the rule on the full sample word before applying it, since accuracy under time pressure is what decides these questions.

Trap: aspirants often check only the first letter, or assume a fixed shift of +1 throughout. Option A starts with D, which matches, so it looks right until the later letters are checked. Verify every position against the given example.
