Q. If PEOPLE is coded as PLPOEE, how is TREND coded?

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

The pattern used to code PEOPLE as PLPOEE can be analyzed as follows:

1. The first and last letters remain in their original positions.


2. The second and fifth letters are swapped.


3. The third and fourth letters are swapped.



Let's apply this pattern to TREND:

1. The first and last letters remain the same → T and D.


2. Swap the second and fourth letters → R and N → N and R.


3. The third letter remains in its place → E.



Thus, TREND is coded as TNERD.

Answer: (A) TNERD.
