In a certain code language, 'JAIPUR' is written as 'AJPIRU' and 'BHOPAL' is written as 'HBPOLA'. How will 'INDORE' be written in that language?
NIODER
The question asks us to decipher a specific code language based on two examples and then apply the same rule to decode a third word. The given examples are:
We need to find out how 'INDORE' will be written in this code language.
Let's examine the first example: 'JAIPUR' transforming into 'AJPIRU'. We can compare the positions of the letters in the original word and the coded word.
Original Word: J A I P U R
Coded Word: A J P I R U
Let's look at the letter pairs:
Let's map the letters by their original position to their new position:
| Original Word (JAIPUR) | Position | Coded Word (AJPIRU) | Position in Coded |
|---|---|---|---|
| J | 1 | A | 1 |
| A | 2 | J | 2 |
| I | 3 | P | 3 |
| P | 4 | I | 4 |
| U | 5 | R | 5 |
| R | 6 | U | 6 |
This positional mapping above is incorrect as it lists the coded letters in their final order, not showing where the original letters moved. Let's analyze the transformation by looking at which letter from the original word appears at each position in the coded word.
Original Word: J1 A2 I3 P4 U5 R6
Coded Word: A2 J1 P4 I3 R6 U5
Here, the subscript indicates the original position of the letter.
This clearly shows that the letters are swapped in pairs of two adjacent letters:
Let's verify this rule with the second example: 'BHOPAL' transforming into 'HBPOLA'.
Original Word: B H O P A L
Apply the swap rule:
Combining these swapped pairs: HB + PO + LA = HBPOLA. This matches the second example, confirming our rule.
Now we apply the same rule to the word 'INDORE'. The word 'INDORE' has 6 letters.
Original Word: I N D O R E
Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Apply the swap rule to adjacent pairs:
Combine the results of the swaps:
N I + O D + E R = NIODER
So, 'INDORE' will be written as 'NIODER' in this code language.
Let's compare our result 'NIODER' with the given options:
Our calculated coded word 'NIODER' matches option 1.
The code language uses a simple pattern of swapping adjacent pairs of letters in the original word. By applying this pattern to 'INDORE', we found the coded word to be 'NIODER'.
| Original Word | Code Logic (Pair Swap) | Coded Word |
|---|---|---|
| JAIPUR | (JA)<->(AJ), (IP)<->(PI), (UR)<->(RU) | AJPIRU |
| BHOPAL | (BH)<->(HB), (OP)<->(PO), (AL)<->(LA) | HBPOLA |
| INDORE | (IN)<->(NI), (DO)<->(OD), (RE)<->(ER) | NIODER |
Letter coding is a common type of reasoning question where words are coded based on a specific rule or pattern. To solve such questions, you need to:
Common patterns include:
