Question Details

In a specific coding system, the term ‘FGHIJ’ is expressed as ‘JIHGF’, and the word ‘VWXYZ’ is represented as ‘ZYXWV’. Following the exact same logic, how will the string ‘KLMNO’ be encoded?

Correct Answer :

Option C

ONMLK

Solution :

The correct answer is ONMLK.


Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyze the First Example:
Given word: ‘FGHIJ’
Encoded string: ‘JIHGF’
Notice that the letters in ‘FGHIJ’ are written in exact reverse order to get ‘JIHGF’ (the last letter 'J' becomes the first, 'I' becomes the second, 'H' stays in the middle, 'G' becomes the fourth, and 'F' becomes the last).

2. Analyze the Second Example:
Given word: ‘VWXYZ’
Encoded string: ‘ZYXWV’
Following the same pattern, reversing the order of letters in ‘VWXYZ’ yields ‘ZYXWV’.

3. Apply the Rule to ‘KLMNO’:
To encode ‘KLMNO’, we reverse the order of its letters from end to start:
1st position: 'O'
2nd position: 'N'
3rd position: 'M'
4th position: 'L'
5th position: 'K'

Thus, the word ‘KLMNO’ is encoded as ONMLK.
