Question

In a certain code, if FAMOUS is written as MAFSUO, then how is LEGEND written in that code?

The correct answer is
GELDNE

Coding Pattern Analysis: FAMOUS to MAFSUO

The coding pattern involves dividing the word into two halves and reversing the letters within each half.

Original Word: FAMOUS

  • Divide into two halves: $FAM$ and $OUS$.
  • Reverse the first half ($FAM$): $MAF$.
  • Reverse the second half ($OUS$): $OSU$.
  • Combine the reversed halves: $MAFOSU$.

Wait, the provided code is $MAFSUO$, not $MAFOSU$. Let's re-examine the positional mapping.

Original: F(1) A(2) M(3) O(4) U(5) S(6)

Coded: M(1) A(2) F(3) S(4) U(5) O(6)

Mapping of original positions to coded positions:

  • Position 1 (F) moves to Position 3.
  • Position 2 (A) stays at Position 2.
  • Position 3 (M) moves to Position 1.
  • Position 4 (O) moves to Position 6.
  • Position 5 (U) stays at Position 5.
  • Position 6 (S) moves to Position 4.

The pattern is: The first three letters swap positions 1 and 3 ($1 2 3 -> 3 2 1$). The last three letters swap positions 4 and 6 ($4 5 6 -> 6 5 4$).

So, the transformation rule is: reverse the first three letters and reverse the last three letters.

Applying the Pattern to LEGEND

Word to code: LEGEND

  1. Divide the word into two halves: $LEG$ and $END$.
  2. Apply the reversal pattern to the first half ($LEG$): $GEL$.
  3. Apply the reversal pattern to the second half ($END$): $DNE$.
  4. Combine the results: $GELDNE$.

Conclusion

Following the identified coding pattern, LEGEND is written as GELDNE.
