The correct answer is

AIUS

To solve the coding question, we need to analyze the pattern used in the given coded word "ABODE" and apply it to "AGRO".

The word "ABODE" is coded as "ADRHJ". Let us break down the coding pattern letter by letter:

  1. A maps to A: There is no change in the first letter.
  2. B maps to D: The letter is increased by 2 positions in the alphabet (B -> D).
  3. O maps to R: The letter is increased by 3 positions (O -> R).
  4. D maps to H: The letter is increased by 4 positions (D -> H).
  5. E maps to J: The letter is increased by 5 positions (E -> J).

Based on this pattern, each subsequent letter in "ABODE" is mapped to a letter further ahead in the alphabet by increasing numbers starting from 0 going up to 5. Now, we apply this rule to the word "AGRO":

  1. A maps to A: No change (0 positions shifted).
  2. G maps to I: Shift forward by 2 positions (G -> I).
  3. R maps to U: Shift forward by 3 positions (R -> U).
  4. O maps to S: Shift forward by 4 positions (O -> S).

The coded form of "AGRO" is thus "AIUS".

Therefore, the correct answer is:

AIUS
