In a certain code language, BHOPAL is written as BOHAPL, and KANPUR is written as KNAUPR. How will INDORE be written in that language?

  1. A
    DNIERO
  2. B
    IDNROE
  3. C
    NIODRE
  4. D
    NIODER

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the pattern by pairing the letters of the words:
For BHOPAL→BOHAPL:

Positions 1 and 2: BH→BO (Wait, let's look at it as alternating or split pairs)
Let's divide into pairs of two letters:
(B,H),(O,P),(A,L)

B and O are the 1st and 3rd letters. Let's look closely at standard positions:

1
B


2
H


3
O


4
P


5
A


6
L


In the coded word BOHAPL:

B
1


O
3


H
2


A
5


P
4


L
6


The rearranged positions index is: 1,3,2,5,4,6.

Let's test this pattern on KANPUR:

1
K


2
A


3
N


4
P


5
U


6
R


Rearranging to the index 1,3,2,5,4,6:

1→K

3→N

2→A

5→U

4→P

6→R
This yields KNAUPR, which matches the given code perfectly.

Now, let's apply this exact rule to INDORE:

1
I


2
N


3
D


4
O


5
R


6
E


Rearranging according to the positional index sequence 1,3,2,5,4,6:

1→I

3→D

2→N

5→R

4→O

6→E

The resulting coded word is IDNROE.
