Question

In a certain code language, 'ENGINE' is written as ‘ENIGNE’ and 'TRAIN’ is written as 'NIART'. How will 'LEVEL' be written in that language?

The correct answer is

LEVEL

This problem involves understanding a specific code language where words are transformed based on a certain rule. We need to figure out this rule by analyzing the given examples and then apply it to the target word 'LEVEL'.

Decoding the Pattern in 'ENGINE'

First, let's look at the transformation of the word 'ENGINE'.

  • Original word: ENGINE
  • Coded word: ENIGNE

Let's examine the letter positions:

Original: E (1) N (2) G (3) I (4) N (5) E (6)

Coded: E (1) N (2) I (4) G (3) N (5) E (6)

Comparing the original and coded words, we see that the letters at positions 1, 2, 5, and 6 remain in their original places. The letters at the 3rd position ('G') and the 4th position ('I') are swapped.

Decoding the Pattern in 'TRAIN'

Next, let's analyze the transformation of the word 'TRAIN'.

  • Original word: TRAIN
  • Coded word: NIART

Let's examine the letter positions:

Original: T (1) R (2) A (3) I (4) N (5)

Coded: N (5) I (4) A (3) R (2) T (1)

In this case, the entire word 'TRAIN' appears to be reversed to get 'NIART'.

Identifying the Coding Rule

We have two different transformations:

  • 'ENGINE' (6 letters, even length) had its 3rd and 4th letters swapped.
  • 'TRAIN' (5 letters, odd length) was completely reversed.

Based on these examples, we can infer a possible rule related to the length of the word:

  • If the word has an even length, the middle two letters are swapped.
  • If the word has an odd length, the entire word is reversed.

Applying the Rule to 'LEVEL'

Now, we need to apply this identified rule to the word 'LEVEL'.

  • The word is LEVEL.
  • The length of the word 'LEVEL' is 5 letters.
  • Since 5 is an odd number, we apply the rule for odd-length words.
  • The rule for odd-length words is to reverse the entire word.

Reversing the word 'LEVEL' results in:

L (1) E (2) V (3) E (4) L (5)

Reversed: L (5) E (4) V (3) E (2) L (1)

Therefore, the coded word is 'LEVEL'.

Final Coded Word for 'LEVEL'

Following the derived coding rules based on word length, the word 'LEVEL' is coded as 'LEVEL'. This matches option 2.
