In a certain code language, ‘FOREST’ is written as ‘GUSITU’, and ‘MANGROVE’ is written as ‘NEOHSUWI’. How will ‘REINCARNATE’ be written in that language?
SIOODESOEUI
This question asks us to decode a word based on a specific pattern observed in two given examples. We are given that 'FOREST' is coded as 'GUSITU' and 'MANGROVE' is coded as 'NEOHSUWI'. We need to find the code for 'REINCARNATE' using the same logic.
Let's carefully compare the letters in the original words and their corresponding coded forms to find the rule.
First, let's look at the consonants in the examples:
Now let's check the consonants in MANGROVE:
It appears that all consonants are shifted one step forward in the alphabet (a shift of $\text{+1}$).
Now let's look at the vowels in the examples:
Now let's check the vowels in MANGROVE:
It seems the shift for vowels depends on the specific vowel:
Based on the provided options and the need to find the code for 'REINCARNATE' which contains the vowel 'I', let's assume a pattern for 'I' might also exist with a fixed shift, similar to 'O'. If we apply the consonant and known vowel rules to 'REINCARNATE' and compare with the options, we can deduce the rule for 'I'. Let's proceed with encoding 'REINCARNATE'.
Let's apply the rules (Consonant $\text{+1}$, Vowel A/E $\text{+4}$, Vowel O $\text{+6}$) to each letter of 'REINCARNATE':
So, the complete set of rules seems to be:
Applying these rules to 'REINCARNATE', we get:
R $\rightarrow$ S
E $\rightarrow$ I
I $\rightarrow$ O
N $\rightarrow$ O
C $\rightarrow$ D
A $\rightarrow$ E
R $\rightarrow$ S
N $\rightarrow$ O
A $\rightarrow$ E
T $\rightarrow$ U
E $\rightarrow$ I
Combining these letters, the encoded word is SIOODESOEUI.
Let's compare our result with the given options:
Our encoded word, SIOODESOEUI, exactly matches Option 3.
| Letter Type | Specific Letter | Rule / Shift |
|---|---|---|
| Consonant | Any Consonant | Shift by $\text{+1}$ (e.g., R $\rightarrow$ S, N $\rightarrow$ O) |
| Vowel | A | Shift by $\text{+4}$ (A $\rightarrow$ E) |
| E | Shift by $\text{+4}$ (E $\rightarrow$ I) | |
| I | Shift by $\text{+6}$ (I $\rightarrow$ O) | |
| O | Shift by $\text{+6}$ (O $\rightarrow$ U) |
Coding and decoding questions test your logical reasoning and pattern recognition skills. These types of questions often involve rearranging letters, shifting letters by a certain number of positions (like a Caesar cipher), substituting letters based on a rule, or applying different rules to different types of letters (like consonants and vowels, as in this case).
Common patterns include:
To solve these problems, carefully compare the given examples, look for consistent differences, and try to identify the underlying rule before applying it to the target word.
