In a certain writing language, the word 'SLIGHT' is written as 'UJKEJR'. Then the word 'GROUND' will be written as:

AITQWPF

BISPVOH

CIQRTOB

DIPQSPB ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) IPQSPB

Explanation

GROUND becomes I P Q S P B under the alternating shift of the code.

SLIGHT to UJKEJR shows letters move +2, -2, +2, -2, +2, -2 in turn.

Applying this, G+2 is I, R-2 is P and O+2 is Q.

Then U-2 is S, N+2 is P and D-2 is B.

The alternating add-two, subtract-two pattern gives IPQSPB.
