Decoding the Code Logic

The problem presents a coding puzzle where a word is transformed into another based on a specific rule. We need to find this rule and apply it to a new word.

Analyzing the Example: COMPUTER

• Original Word: COMPUTER
• Given Code: CEMOPRTU

Let's examine the letters in both the original word and the coded word:

• Letters in COMPUTER: C, O, M, P, U, T, E, R
• Letters in CEMOPRTU: C, E, M, O, P, R, T, U

By comparing the letters, we can see that the coded word 'CEMOPRTU' contains exactly the same letters as 'COMPUTER', but they are arranged in alphabetical order.

COMPUTER sorted alphabetically becomes CEMOPRTU.

Applying the Logic to CUPBOARD

Now, we apply the same rule (arranging letters alphabetically) to the word CUPBOARD.

1. Identify Letters: The letters in CUPBOARD are C, U, P, B, O, A, R, D.
2. Sort Letters: Arrange these letters in alphabetical order: A, B, C, D, O, P, R, U.
3. Form Coded Word: Combine the sorted letters to form the coded word: ABCDOPRU.

Matching with Options

The derived coded word for CUPBOARD is ABCDOPRU. Comparing this with the given options:

• Option 1: ABCDOPRU
• Option 2: ABCDORPU
• Option 3: ABCDOQRU
• Option 4: ABDCOPRU

The derived word ABCDOPRU matches Option 1 exactly.
