Example 3: Half-word reversal coding
Last Updated On: Sat Aug 29 2026Given Data
- In a certain code language, 'PRACTICE' is written as 'CARPECIT'.
Question
How will 'SOLUTION' be written in that code language?
Answer
ULOSNOIT.
Solution
- Divide 'PRACTICE' into two equal 4-letter halves: 'PRAC' and 'TICE'.
- Reverse the letters in the first half: 'PRAC' becomes 'CARP'.
- Reverse the letters in the second half: 'TICE' becomes 'ECIT'.
- Combine both reversed halves to get 'CARPECIT'.
- Apply the same rule to 'SOLUTION':
- First half 'SOLU' reversed becomes 'ULOS'.
- Second half 'TION' reversed becomes 'NOIT'.
- Combining both gives 'ULOSNOIT'.
