In a certain code language, 'DESTROY' is written as 'DYORTSE' and 'EFFECTS' is written as 'ESTCEFF'. How will 'FOUNDED' be written in that language?

  1. A
    FOEDDNU
  2. B
    DFOUNDE
  3. C
    FDEDNUO
  4. D
    DEDNUOF

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The coding logic is based on arranging the letters of the word according to specific rules:
DESTROY -> DYORTSE

Separate the vowels and consonants.

Vowels present: E, O

Consonants present: D, S, T, R, Y

Let's look closely at the arrangement: The last letter 'Y' comes first, followed by the reverse order of certain elements.

Alternate look at logic:

First letter 'D' goes to position 1.

Last letter 'Y' goes to position 2.

Next consonants/vowels are rearranged:

Actually, let's track the exact position shifts:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
D E S T R O Y
D Y O R T S E

Position 1 (D) -> 1

Position 7 (Y) -> 2

Position 6 (O) -> 3

Position 5 (R) -> 4

Position 4 (T) -> 5

Position 3 (S) -> 6

Position 2 (E) -> 7

So, the rule is: The first letter remains at the first position, and the remaining letters are written in reverse order.

EFFECTS -> ESTCEFF

Let's apply the rule: First letter remains at position 1, and the rest are written in reverse order.

Letters: 1=E, 2=F, 3=F, 4=E, 5=C, 6=T, 7=S

Keep 1st letter: E

Reverse the rest (F F E C T S -> S T C E F F)

Combined: E + S T C E F F = ESTCEFF. This matches perfectly.

FOUNDED -> ?

Letters: 1=F, 2=O, 3=U, 4=N, 5=D, 6=E, 7=D

Keep 1st letter: F

Reverse the rest (O U N D E D -> D E D N U O)

Combined: F + D E D N U O = FDEDNUO.
