If 'APPLE' is coded as 'ELPPA', then 'ORANGE' is coded as:
EGNARO
EGNAOR
EGONAR
EGNAOR
EGNARO
Look at the pattern: the word is simply written in complete reverse order (backward string reversal).
Look at the pattern: the word is simply written in complete reverse order (backward string reversal).
Analyze Given Code
The word APPLE is coded as ELPPA. Comparing the letters, A-P-P-L-E becomes E-L-P-P-A, which is the exact reverse of the original word.
Apply Reverse Mapping to Target Word
Taking the word ORANGE, we reverse its letter order from right to left: E (6th), G (5th), N (4th), A (3rd), R (2nd), O (1st), forming the word EGNARO.
Match with Options
The resulting coded word EGNARO matches Option A.
B: EGNAOR has incorrect letter order at the end. C: EGONAR has O and N swapped incorrectly. D: EGNAOR is a duplicate option with wrong sequencing.
A is correct because reversing the string ORANGE completely from last letter to first letter gives EGNARO.
Always check for simple word reversals (backward spelling) before looking for complex alphabetical shifting rules.
