If 'GOLD' is coded as 'HOME', how would you code 'SONS'?

TOOR

TONT

TPOT

TOOT

✅ Correct Option: 4

Looking at how GOLD is coded as HOME:

$G \rightarrow H \;(+1)$

$O \rightarrow O \;(\text{no change})$

$L \rightarrow M \;(+1)$

$D \rightarrow E \;(+1)$

The rule is: every consonant shifts forward by 1, while vowels stay the same.

Applying the same pattern to SONS:

$S \rightarrow \text{consonant} \rightarrow S + 1 = T$

$O \rightarrow \text{vowel} \rightarrow O + 0 = O$

$N \rightarrow \text{consonant} \rightarrow N + 1 = O$

$S \rightarrow \text{consonant} \rightarrow S + 1 = T$

Therefore, SONS is coded as $TOOT$ .
