In a code language, 'MUSCLE' is coded as USMLEC and 'FINGER' is coded as INFERG. How will 'THROAT' be coded in the same language?

Let's examine the arrangement of letters in the given codes:
For 'MUSCLE' → 'USMLEC':

Divide the 6-letter word into pairs: (M, U), (S, C), (L, E)

In the first pair, letters are swapped: MU→UM

In the second pair, letters are swapped: SC→CS

In the third pair, letters are swapped: LE→EL

This would give 'UMCSEL'. But the output is 'USMLEC'.
Let's look at index mapping instead:

M, 2. U, 3. S, 4. C, 5. L, 6. E
The positions in the coded word 'USMLEC' are:

U (2), S (3), M (1), L (5), E (6), C (4)
Pattern of positions: (2,3,1,5,6,4)

Let's check 'FINGER' → 'INFERG':

F, 2. I, 3. N, 4. G, 5. E, 6. R
Applying position pattern (2,3,1,5,6,4):

2nd letter: I

3rd letter: N

1st letter: F

5th letter: E

6th letter: R

4th letter: G
This matches 'INFERG' perfectly.

Now apply the same pattern (2,3,1,5,6,4) to 'THROAT':

T, 2. H, 3. R, 4. O, 5. A, 6. T

2nd letter: H

3rd letter: R

1st letter: T

5th letter: A

6th letter: T

4th letter: O

Thus, the code is 'HRTATO'.
