Coding Decoding question

If “MOON” is coded as “LNLM” and “SUN” is coded as “RVM”, then using the same pattern, “STAR” can be coded as:
A) RSBQ
B) RSUQ
C) RUSB
D) RTAQ
E) RSBP

Correct Answer: WRONG Question
The question is wrong because:

  1. The coding from MOON → LNLM does not follow a consistent pattern (shifts are −1, +1, −2, −1), which is irregular.
  2. The coding from SUN → RVM follows a different pattern (−1, +1, +1), which contradicts the first transformation.
  3. No single uniform rule explains both examples simultaneously (neither positional shift nor alternating logic works).
  4. Applying different valid assumptions leads to multiple possible codes for STAR.
  5. Hence, the coding logic is ambiguous and does not yield a unique answer.
