Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This is a coding-decoding question with a complex pattern. The coding for a letter is not fixed but changes based on some rule. The examples provided ('ACQUITIED' and 'WAMPIRE') have inconsistent patterns, suggesting a possibility of errors in the question text. However, we must deduce a logic to find the code for 'TABLE' that matches one of the options. The logic that fits is based on reversing the word and applying a specific set of operations.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
The pattern followed in this code is highly complex and appears to vary with the length and composition of the word. Let's deduce the logic by working backward from the correct answer for 'TABLE'.
The word to be coded is TABLE. The correct code is OVYGZ.
Let's assume the logic involves reversing the word first.
Reversed word: ELBAT
Now, let's map the letters of the reversed word to the code:
E \(\rightarrow\) O
L \(\rightarrow\) V
B \(\rightarrow\) Y
A \(\rightarrow\) G
T \(\rightarrow\) Z
Let's analyze the transformation for each letter, possibly by a positional shift in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ...).
- E (5) \(\rightarrow\) O (15). The shift is +10.
- L (12) \(\rightarrow\) V (22). The shift is +10.
- B (2) \(\rightarrow\) Y (25). The shift is +23 or -3.
- A (1) \(\rightarrow\) G (7). The shift is +6.
- T (20) \(\rightarrow\) Z (26). The shift is +6.
The pattern of shifts for the reversed word is (+10, +10, -3, +6, +6). While this pattern is not immediately obvious or derivable from the inconsistent examples, it is the one that produces the given correct answer. In some exam questions with errors, the intended logic for the question at hand follows a simpler or different pattern than the examples.
Step 3: Final Answer:
By reversing the word 'TABLE' to 'ELBAT' and applying the positional shifts (+10, +10, -3, +6, +6), we get the code OVYGZ.
