If LSJXVC is the code for MUMBAI, the code for DELHI is

  1. A.CCIDD
  2. B.CDKGH
  3. C.CCJFG
  4. D.CCIFE
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: A. CCIDD

The coding scheme involves a positional shift. Each letter in the original word is replaced by a letter that is a fixed number of positions ahead in the alphabet. For MUMBAI to LSJXVC, the shifts are +2, -1, +1, -2, +2, -1 respectively for each letter's position. Applying the same pattern to DELHI, we get CCIDD.
