  1. If CODE is written as DPEF, what does MPTU stand for in the same code?

    Answer: LOST

    Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet (L→M, O→P, S→T, U→V becomes M→L, P→O, T→S, V→U decoded), so MPTU decodes to LOST.

  2. A box contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. What is the probability of drawing 2 red balls in a row without replacement?
