Question

In a code language, `APPLE' is written as `ELPPA'. How will `BANANA' be written in that code?

• A. ANANAB
• B. NANABA
• C. BANANA
• D. ANANBA

Hint:

For coding-decoding, check for simple transformations like reversal or rotation before assuming complex patterns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The objective is to determine the transformation applied to "APPLE" to yield "ELPPA" and then apply this same transformation to "BANANA".

1. Analysis of the Example:

- Original word: "APPLE"
- Transformed word: "ELPPA"

2. Pattern Identification:

- Original word letters: A P P L E
- Transformed word letters: E L P P A

- The transformed word is the reverse of the original word.
The first letter of the transformed word is the last letter of the original word (E),
The second letter of the transformed word is the second-to-last letter of the original word (L),
And so on.

3. Rule Determination:

The rule is to reverse the order of the letters in the original word.

4. Application to "BANANA":

- Original word: B A N A N A
- Reversing the letters:
A N A N A B

Final Result:

In this coding system, "BANANA" is coded as "ANANAB".
