If 'APPLE' is coded as 'ELPPA', then 'MANGO' is coded as:
OGNAM
ONAGM
AMONG
GNOMA
OGNAM
Check if the coded word is a direct backward reversal of the original word. If yes, simply write the target word in reverse order.
Check if the coded word is a direct backward reversal of the original word. If yes, simply write the target word in reverse order.
Step 1: Analyze the given code pattern
In the given example, the word APPLE is written as ELPPA. Comparing the positions shows that the letters are completely reversed from right to left (1st becomes 5th, 2nd becomes 4th, etc.).
Step 2: Apply the reverse rule to MANGO
Applying the same right-to-left reversal to the word M-A-N-G-O (O тЖТ 1st, G тЖТ 2nd, N тЖТ 3rd, A тЖТ 4th, M тЖТ 5th) gives OGNAM.
B: ONAGM is incorrect because it does not follow the correct reverse order. C: AMONG is incorrect because it is a partial rearrangement, not a full reversal. D: GNOMA is incorrect because it starts with G instead of O.
A is correct because reversing the letters of the word APPLE gives ELPPA, and applying the exact same reversal to MANGO yields OGNAM.
Always check for simple word reversals or mirror letter arrangements before testing complex alphabetical shift rules.
