Understanding Word Coding Patterns

This question asks us to decipher a coding pattern applied to words and then use that pattern to code another word. We are given two examples: DEMAND is coded as DNAMED, and SUPPLY is coded as YLPPUS. We need to find how QUANTITY is coded.

Analyzing the Given Coding Examples

Let's look at the first example:

• Original word: DEMAND
• Coded word: DNAMED

Let's compare the letters and their positions:

DEMAND → D N A M E D

D at position 1 → D at position 1

E at position 2 → N at position 2

M at position 3 → A at position 3

A at position 4 → M at position 4

N at position 5 → E at position 5

D at position 6 → D at position 6

Observing this, we can see that the letters in the coded word are the same as the letters in the original word, but their order is changed.

Let's try reversing the original word "DEMAND". Reversing DEMAND gives DNAMED.

Now let's check the second example:

• Original word: SUPPLY
• Coded word: YLPPUS

Let's try reversing the original word "SUPPLY". Reversing SUPPLY gives YLPPUS.

The pattern is consistent in both examples: the coded word is obtained by reversing the original word.

Applying the Pattern to QUANTITY

Now we apply the same reversal pattern to the word QUANTITY.

• Original word: QUANTITY

To find the coded word, we reverse the letters of QUANTITY.

Q U A N T I T Y

Reversing the order, we get:

Y T I T N A U Q

Comparing with Options

The coded word for QUANTITY is YTITNAUQ. Let's compare this with the given options:

1. YTITNAUQ
2. YTITANQU
3. YTUTANIQ
4. YTATUYIQ

Our result, YTITNAUQ, matches the first option.

Conclusion

Based on the coding pattern observed in the examples (reversing the word), the word QUANTITY is coded as YTITNAUQ.
