If 'APPLE' is coded as 'ELPPA', how is 'ORANGE' coded?
EGNARO
EGNAOR
EGNAOR
EGNORA
EGNARO
Observe the word 'APPLE' and its code 'ELPPA'; the pattern is simply writing the original word in complete reverse order.
Observe the word 'APPLE' and its code 'ELPPA'; the pattern is simply writing the original word in complete reverse order.
Analyze the given pattern
The word APPLE (5 letters) is reversed to get ELPPA. Mapping: 1st(A) becomes 5th, 2nd(P) becomes 4th, 3rd(P) becomes 3rd, 4th(L) becomes 2nd, 5th(E) becomes 1st.
Apply pattern to ORANGE
To code ORANGE, reverse the sequence: 6(E), 5(G), 4(N), 3(A), 2(R), 1(O). This results in EGNARO.
B: This option provides EGNAOR, which is an incorrect sequence. C: This option repeats the error of B, showing EGNAOR. D: This option provides EGNORA, which incorrectly transposes the R and A.
A is correct because the code follows a simple reversal of the input word, and reversing ORANGE gives EGNARO.
Always check for 'Complete Reversal' or 'Partial Reversal' patterns first in coding-decoding questions as they are the most common time-savers.
