In a certain code language, ‘TABLE’ is coded as ELEAT and ‘SWING’ is coded as GNLWS. How will ‘FRAME’ be coded in the same language?

The correct answer is EMDRF.

Let's crack the code by carefully analyzing both given examples.

Step 1: Observe the pattern in 'TABLE' → 'ELEAT'

First, let's reverse 'TABLE':

T - A - B - L - E  →  reversed:  E - L - B - A - T

But the given code is E - L - E - A - T.

Compare reversed word vs coded word at each position:

Position 1: E = E ✓
Position 2: L = L ✓
Position 3: B → E  (B is the 2nd letter, E is the 5th letter; difference = +3)
Position 4: A = A ✓
Position 5: T = T ✓

So the pattern seems to be: Reverse the word, then shift the middle letter (position 3) forward by +3 in the alphabet.

Step 2: Verify with 'SWING' → 'GNLWS'

Reverse 'SWING':

S - W - I - N - G  →  reversed:  G - N - I - W - S

But the given code is G - N - L - W - S.

Position 1: G = G ✓
Position 2: N = N ✓
Position 3: I → L  (I is the 9th letter, L is the 12th letter; difference = +3) ✓
Position 4: W = W ✓
Position 5: S = S ✓

The rule is confirmed: Reverse the entire word, then replace the middle letter (position 3) with the letter that is 3 places ahead in the alphabet.

Step 3: Apply the rule to 'FRAME'

Original word:  F - R - A - M - E

Reverse it:  E - M - A - R - F

Shift middle letter (position 3):  A → D  (A is 1st, D is 4th; +3)

Final coded word:  E - M - D - R - F = EMDRF

Therefore, 'FRAME' is coded as EMDRF.
