This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

BOUISPQPMPHJTU

We must decode the rule from the two given examples and then apply it to ANTHROPOLOGIST.

Compare PHILOSOPHER with QIJMPTPQIFS letter by letter: P to Q, H to I, I to J, L to M, O to P, S to T, O to P, P to Q, H to I, E to F, R to S.

Every letter has moved one step forward in the alphabet (+1).

Verify with PSYCHOLOGIST to QTZDIPMPHJTU: P to Q, S to T, Y to Z, C to D, H to I, O to P, L to M, O to P, G to H, I to J, S to T, T to U. Again each letter is +1.

Now encode ANTHROPOLOGIST by shifting each letter one step forward.

A to B, N to O, T to U, H to I, R to S, O to P, P to Q, O to P, L to M, O to P, G to H, I to J, S to T, T to U.

Joining these gives BOUISPQPMPHJTU.

Therefore the code for ANTHROPOLOGIST is BOUISPQPMPHJTU.
