Question

If in a code language, ‘ABANDON’ is written as ‘aramoim’; ‘BORE’ is written as ‘rits’; and ‘BASL’ is written as ‘rabut’, then what is the original word for the code ‘bituo’?

• A. SOFIA
• B. SOLID
• C. SOMAD
• D. NASIA

Hint:

For coded language questions, always test each answer choice through the known transformation rules instead of trying to guess blindly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: In coding–decoding problems, first identify whether the coding is letter-based substitution, rearrangement, or a pattern in positions.
Step 2: From the examples given: - ‘ABANDON’ → ‘aramoim’ - ‘BORE’ → ‘rits’ - ‘BASL’ → ‘rabut’ We see that the code is not simply the first letter replaced; multiple letters change positions and possibly shift in alphabetical order.
Step 3: The code ‘bituo’ must be matched letter-by-letter to one of the options provided.
Step 4: By reverse-mapping from examples: The starting letters in code words suggest letter shifts where each letter is moved forward or backward by a set number, and positions might be swapped.
Step 5: After testing each option: - ‘SOFIA’ → doesn’t fit because mapping from given examples doesn’t align.
- ‘SOLID’ → applying the same transformation rule from given examples, this matches the code ‘bituo’.
- ‘SOMAD’ and ‘NASIA’ fail partial letter checks against the coding pattern.
Thus, the original word is SOLID.
