Detailed Solution & Explanation

To find how the word **DELHI** is coded based on the coding of **MADRAS** =NBESBT\displaystyle = NBESBT:

Let us analyze the alphabetical shifts from **MADRAS** to **NBESBT**:
- MN    Shift of +1\displaystyle M \to N \implies \text{Shift of } +1
- AB    Shift of +1\displaystyle A \to B \implies \text{Shift of } +1
- DE    Shift of +1\displaystyle D \to E \implies \text{Shift of } +1
- RS    Shift of +1\displaystyle R \to S \implies \text{Shift of } +1
- AB    Shift of +1\displaystyle A \to B \implies \text{Shift of } +1
- ST    Shift of +1\displaystyle S \to T \implies \text{Shift of } +1

We observe a simple shift of +1\displaystyle +1 (the next letter in the alphabet) for every letter in the word. We apply this same rule to the word **DELHI**:
- DE\displaystyle D \to E
- EF\displaystyle E \to F
- LM\displaystyle L \to M
- HI\displaystyle H \to I
- IJ\displaystyle I \to J

Putting the coded letters in sequence, the code for **DELHI** is **EFMJI**.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
