In a certain code language, ‘TERRAIN’ is written as ‘VETTAIP’ and ‘TRAFFIC’ is written as ‘VTAHHIE’. How will ‘MOTOR’ be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the given examples:
- TERRAIN -> VETTAIP
- TRAFFIC -> VTAHHIE

Step 2: Observe the pattern by comparing the original word and the coded word:

T E R R A I N
V E T T A I P

T R A F F I C
V T A H H I E

Step 3: Look at the first letters:
- T -> V
- T -> V

Seems the first letter T is changed to V.

Step 4: Look at the second letters:
- E -> E
- R -> T

No direct alphabetical shift, but let's check the position of letters in the word and their mapping.

Step 5: Check the position-wise mapping for TERRAIN:
1: T -> V (T is 20th letter, V is 22nd, +2)
2: E -> E (same)
3: R -> T (R is 18th, T is 20th, +2)
4: R -> T (same as above)
5: A -> A (same)
6: I -> I (same)
7: N -> P (N is 14th, P is 16th, +2)

Step 6: For TRAFFIC:
1: T -> V (+2)
2: R -> T (+2)
3: A -> A (same)
4: F -> H (+2)
5: F -> H (+2)
6: I -> I (same)
7: C -> E (+2)

Step 7: Pattern identified:
- For letters in odd positions (1,3,5,7), letters remain the same or shifted by +2.
- For letters in even positions (2,4,6), letters are either same or shifted by +2.

More specifically:
- Position 1: +2
- Position 2: same or +2
- Position 3: +2 or same
- Position 4: +2
- Position 5: same
- Position 6: same
- Position 7: +2

Step 8: Apply this to MOTOR (5 letters):
Positions: M(1), O(2), T(3), O(4), R(5)

Position 1 (odd): +2
M (13) + 2 = O (15)

Position 2 (even): same
O (15) stays O

Position 3 (odd): +2
T (20) + 2 = V (22)

Position 4 (even): +2
O (15) + 2 = Q (17)

Position 5 (odd): same
R (18) stays R

Step 9: The coded word is O O V Q R

Step 10: Check options, none matches OOVQR exactly, but options have O, V, T, etc.

Step 11: Re-examine the pattern for even positions:
In TERRAIN and TRAFFIC, even positions 2,4,6 are either same or +2.
In TERRAIN:
Position 2: E -> E (same)
Position 4: R -> T (+2)
Position 6: I -> I (same)

In TRAFFIC:
Position 2: R -> T (+2)
Position 4: F -> H (+2)
Position 6: I -> I (same)

So even positions are either same or +2.

Step 12: For MOTOR:
Position 2: O (15) - let's keep same (O)
Position 4: O (15) - +2 = Q (17) or same (O)

Step 13: Check options for OOVOT, OVOTO, etc.

Step 14: Try even positions same:
Positions:
1: M + 2 = O
2: O same = O
3: T + 2 = V
4: O same = O
5: R same = R

Result: O O V O R

Step 15: Check options, none has OOVOR exactly, but option 3 is OOVOT, option 1 is OVOTO.

Step 16: Try position 5 (odd) +2:
R (18) + 2 = T (20)

So final word: O O V O T

This matches option 3: OOVOT

Therefore, the code for MOTOR is OOVOT.
