Understanding the Code Language Pattern

The question asks us to decode a word, ABBREVIATING, based on a given example of how the word DISTRIBUTION is coded as SIDIRTTUBNOI in a specific code language. To solve this, we need to first identify the rule or pattern applied to transform DISTRIBUTION into SIDIRTTUBNOI.

Analyzing the Transformation of DISTRIBUTION

Let's look at the original word and the coded word:

• Original Word: DISTRIBUTION (12 letters)
• Coded Word: SIDIRTTUBNOI (12 letters)

By comparing the letters and their positions, we can try to find a consistent pattern. Let's divide the original word into blocks of 3 letters and see if there is any relationship with the coded word:

Observing the table, we can see that each block of 3 letters in the original word appears to be reversed in the coded word:

• DIS reversed is SID.
• TRI reversed is IRT.
• BUT reversed is TUB.
• ION reversed is NOI.

When we combine these reversed blocks (SID + IRT + TUB + NOI), we get SIDIRTTUBNOI, which exactly matches the given coded word for DISTRIBUTION.

Therefore, the pattern in this code language is to divide the word into blocks of three letters and reverse the order of letters within each block. Since the word DISTRIBUTION has 12 letters, it divides perfectly into four blocks of three.

Applying the Pattern to ABBREVIATING

Now, we apply the same code language pattern to the word ABBREVIATING. ABBREVIATING also has 12 letters, so it will also be divided into four blocks of three letters.

Divide ABBREVIATING into blocks of 3:

• Block 1: ABB
• Block 2: REV
• Block 3: IAT
• Block 4: ING

Now, reverse the letters within each block:

• Reverse of ABB is BBA.
• Reverse of REV is VER.
• Reverse of IAT is TAI.
• Reverse of ING is GNI.

Finally, combine the reversed blocks in order:

BBA + VER + TAI + GNI = BBAVERTAIGNI

So, in this code language, ABBREVIATING will be written as BBAVERTAIGNI.

Comparing with Options

Let's check which option matches our result:

• Option 1: BARVEAIITGN
• Option 2: BBAVERIATGNI
• Option 3: BBAVERTAIGNI
• Option 4: VERBBAGNITAI

Our calculated coded word, BBAVERTAIGNI, matches Option 3.

Conclusion

The code language involves reversing blocks of three letters in the original word. Applying this rule to ABBREVIATING gives us BBAVERTAIGNI.

Additional Information: Letter Coding and Reasoning

Code language and letter coding questions are common in reasoning sections of exams. They test your ability to identify patterns and apply logical rules. Patterns can involve:

• Reversing letters or blocks of letters (as in this question).
• Shifting letters forward or backward in the alphabet (e.g., A becomes B, B becomes C).
• Substituting letters with other letters based on a rule (e.g., vowels become consonants).
• Rearranging letters according to a specific order.
• Using numbers or symbols instead of letters.

To solve such problems, always start by carefully comparing the given original word and its coded form. Look for letter positions, groups of letters, and any consistent changes. Breaking the word into smaller segments can often reveal the underlying pattern more easily.
