In a certain code language, a specific rule is applied to transform words. Analyze the given example and then apply the same rule to find the coded form of the target word.
If "CODE" is coded as "EdOc",
Then how will "KiNg" be coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The pattern applied in the code is as follows:
• The letters of the given word are written in reverse order.
• In the coded word, the first letter is in uppercase and the last letter is in lowercase.
For "CODE":
• Reversing the letters: E - D - O - C
• First letter is uppercase (E) and the last letter is lowercase (c) → EdOc
Applying the same rule to "KiNg":
• Reversing the letters: g - N - i - K
• First letter must be uppercase: G
• Last letter must be lowercase: k
Among the given options, only (D) GNIk starts with an uppercase letter (G) and ends with a lowercase letter (k).
Therefore, the correct coded form is GNIk.
