In a certain language, 'CLASS' is coded as 'UUCNE'. What is the code for 'SECTION' ?

Answer: D

The code for SECTION is PQKVEGU.

The rule is: write the word backwards, then move every letter two places forward in the alphabet.

CLASS reversed is SSALC, and shifting each letter by +2 gives S→U, S→U, A→C, L→N, C→E, which is UUCNE, as given.

SECTION reversed is NOITCES. Shifting each letter by +2 gives N→P, O→Q, I→K, T→V, C→E, E→G, S→U, which is PQKVEGU.

The distractors differ only in letter order or in one letter: PQKVGEU swaps E and G, and PQLVEGU shifts I by three places instead of two.
