    • Last question is correct but option are wrong. Correct ans is CPNCBZ.
      as u can see in word DELHI, next alphabet is taken like after D comes E, after E comes F, after L comes M and so on. So in case of BOMBAY, after B comes C, after O comes P, after M comes N, and so on.

  4. The last ques is actually wrong. Delhi has been coded by simply placing the next letter instead of the original one.
    So Bombay should be starting with a C, but it ain’t hence its wrong.
