Question

If CHARTER is coded UMOEPYE then PARTNER will be coded as:

• A. AONPCYE
• B. AEEPCYE
• C. AOEEACYE
• D. AOEPCYE

Hint:

In hybrid coding patterns, separate the rearrangement step from the substitution step. Verify both before finalising the code to avoid mismatches.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Compare CHARTER with UMOEPYE. This is not a simple shift; it’s a rearrangement plus substitution.
Step 2: Identify the rearrangement — letters from certain positions in the original word move to different places in the code.
Step 3: Apply the same rearrangement pattern to the word PARTNER.
Step 4: After rearranging, apply the same letter substitutions as were used for the corresponding positions in CHARTER.
Step 5: The final output after applying both steps is AOEPCYE.
Step 6: Elimination of wrong options: - Option (a) AONPCYE — wrong because the second letter should be O, but the third mapping is incorrect.
- Option (b) AEEPCYE — wrong because the double E sequence does not match the correct substitution mapping.
- Option (c) AOEEACYE — wrong because the position mapping is not consistent with the original code pattern.
