Question

In a certain code language, 'LUCKNOW' is written as 'CULKWON' and 'UDAIPUR' is written as 'ADUIRUP'. How will 'GWALIOR' be written in that language?

The correct answer is

AWGLROI

Analyzing the Coding Pattern

The problem asks us to decipher a specific code language based on two examples: 'LUCKNOW' coded as 'CULKWON' and 'UDAIPUR' coded as 'ADUIRUP'. We need to find the underlying rule to apply it to the word 'GWALIOR'.

Let's break down the transformation for the first example, 'LUCKNOW' to 'CULKWON'. We can look at the letters and their positions:

Original Word Position Coded Word Original Position in Coded
L 1 C 3
U 2 U 2
C 3 L 1
K 4 K 4
N 5 W 7
O 6 O 6
W 7 N 5

By observing the positions:

  • The first three letters 'LUC' from LUCKNOW are rearranged to 'CUL' in the coded word. This is the reverse order of the first three letters.
  • The fourth letter 'K' remains in the fourth position in the coded word.
  • The last three letters 'NOW' from LUCKNOW are rearranged to 'WON' in the coded word. This is the reverse order of the last three letters.

Verifying the Pattern with UDAIPUR

Let's check if the same pattern holds for the second example, 'UDAIPUR' coded as 'ADUIRUP'.

Original Word Position Coded Word Original Position in Coded
U 1 A 3
D 2 D 2
A 3 U 1
I 4 I 4
P 5 R 7
U 6 U 6
R 7 P 5

Applying the derived pattern to UDAIPUR:

  • Reverse the first three letters (UDA): ADU.
  • Keep the fourth letter (I): I.
  • Reverse the last three letters (PUR): RUP.

Combining these, we get ADUIRUP, which matches the given coded word for UDAIPUR. The pattern is confirmed.

Applying the Pattern to GWALIOR

The pattern is: Reverse the first three letters, keep the fourth letter the same, and reverse the last three letters.

Now, let's apply this pattern to the word GWALIOR:

The word is GWALIOR. It has 7 letters:

  • G (1st)
  • W (2nd)
  • A (3rd)
  • L (4th)
  • I (5th)
  • O (6th)
  • R (7th)

Applying the coding rule:

  1. Take the first three letters: GWA. Reverse them: AWG.
  2. Take the fourth letter: L. Keep it the same: L.
  3. Take the last three letters: IOR. Reverse them: ROI.

Combine the results from steps 1, 2, and 3: AWG + L + ROI = AWGLROI.

Confirming the Coded Word for GWALIOR

The coded word for GWALIOR, based on the identified pattern from LUCKNOW and UDAIPUR, is AWGLROI. We compare this with the provided options to find the correct one.

Part of the Word Number of Letters Coding Rule
First part 3 Reverse the order
Middle part 1 (4th letter) Keep in the same position
Last part 3 Reverse the order

Additional Information: Solving Letter Coding Problems

Letter coding questions require careful observation and logical deduction. Here are some tips for approaching them:

  • Write down the original word and the coded word, aligning the letters position by position.
  • Look for patterns based on letter positions, reversal, skipping letters, or letter substitution (like A becomes C, B becomes D, etc.).
  • Compare multiple examples if provided, as the pattern must be consistent across all of them.
  • Break the word into parts (like halves, thirds, or based on the number of letters) if a uniform rule isn't obvious for the whole word.
  • Once a pattern is identified, test it rigorously on all given examples.
  • Apply the confirmed pattern to the word whose code needs to be found.
  • If the pattern is complex, sometimes writing the alphabet and numbering positions can help identify shifts.

Practice with different types of coding questions helps in quickly identifying the patterns.
