Understanding the Code Language Pattern

The question asks us to decode a word based on a specific code language where 'STOPER' becomes 'XNTJJL' and 'GANOPY' becomes 'LUSIUS'. We need to find the pattern of transformation from the original word to the coded word.

Analyzing the Transformations

Let's look at the letter positions in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) to find the rule.

Example 1: STOPER to XNTJJL

The pattern for 'STOPER' appears to be a sequence of $+5, -6, +5, -6, +5, -6$ applied to the letter positions.

Example 2: GANOPY to LUSIUS

Let's check if the same $+5, -6$ pattern holds for 'GANOPY'. When subtracting, if the result is less than 1, we can wrap around from Z (26). For example, A is 1 or 27.

The pattern $+5, -6$ with wrap-around indeed holds for 'GANOPY' as well. This confirms our coding language logic.

Encoding the word FITAND

Now we apply the $+5, -6, +5, -6, +5, -6$ pattern to the word 'FITAND'.

• F: Position is 6. Apply $+5$. $$6 + 5 = 11$$. The 11th letter is K.
• I: Position is 9. Apply $-6$. $$9 - 6 = 3$$. The 3rd letter is C.
• T: Position is 20. Apply $+5$. $$20 + 5 = 25$$. The 25th letter is Y.
• A: Position is 1. Apply $-6$. $$1 - 6 = -5$$. Consider A as 27: $$27 - 6 = 21$$. The 21st letter is U.
• N: Position is 14. Apply $+5$. $$14 + 5 = 19$$. The 19th letter is S.
• D: Position is 4. Apply $-6$. $$4 - 6 = -2$$. Consider D as 30: $$30 - 6 = 24$$. The 24th letter is X.

Combining the resulting letters, we get KCYUSX.

Comparing with Options

Let's check which option matches our result:

• Option 1: KDYUSX
• Option 2: KCYUXS
• Option 3: KCYUSX
• Option 4: KCYVSX

Our encoded word 'KCYUSX' matches Option 3.

Additional Information: Letter Coding in Reasoning

Letter coding is a common type of question in reasoning sections of competitive exams. It involves replacing each letter of a word with another letter according to a specific rule or pattern. These patterns can be based on:

• Adding or subtracting a fixed number from the letter's position (like in this question).
• Swapping positions of letters within the word.
• Reversing the word.
• Using opposite letters (A is opposite Z, B is opposite Y, etc.).
• A combination of these rules.

Solving these problems requires careful observation of the given examples to identify the underlying rule or pattern before applying it to the new word.
