Understanding the Coding Pattern for BHOPAL and KANPUR

The question presents a coding puzzle where words are rearranged based on a specific rule. We are given two examples: BHOPAL is coded as BOHAPL, and KANPUR is coded as KNAUPR. The task is to find the coded form of INDORE using the same logic.

Analyzing the Coding Logic

Let's examine the transformations provided to identify the pattern:

Example 1: BHOPAL to BOHAPL

The word BHOPAL has 6 letters. Let's assign positions:

B (1) H (2) O (3) P (4) A (5) L (6)

The coded word is BOHAPL:

B (1) O (3) H (2) A (5) P (4) L (6)

Comparing the positions, we observe:

• The 1st letter (B) remains in the 1st position.
• The 2nd letter (H) and 3rd letter (O) are swapped.
• The 4th letter (P) and 5th letter (A) are swapped.
• The 6th letter (L) remains in the 6th position.

The pattern applied is: Position 1 stays, swap(2, 3), swap(4, 5), Position 6 stays.

Example 2: KANPUR to KNAUPR

Let's verify this pattern with the second example, KANPUR:

K (1) A (2) N (3) P (4) U (5) R (6)

The coded word is KNAUPR:

K (1) N (3) A (2) U (5) P (4) R (6)

Applying the identified pattern:

• 1st letter (K) stays: K
• Swap 2nd (A) and 3rd (N): N A
• Swap 4th (P) and 5th (U): U P
• 6th letter (R) stays: R

Combining these gives K N A U P R, which matches the given coded word. The pattern is confirmed.

Applying the Pattern to INDORE

Now, we apply the same coding rule (swap 2nd & 3rd letters, swap 4th & 5th letters) to the word INDORE:

Original Word: INDORE

Assign positions:

I (1) N (2) D (3) O (4) R (5) E (6)

Apply the rule:

• 1st letter (I) remains unchanged: I
• Swap the 2nd (N) and 3rd (D) letters: D N
• Swap the 4th (O) and 5th (R) letters: R O
• 6th letter (E) remains unchanged: E

Combining the rearranged parts gives the coded word: IDNROE.
