A word is rearranged by a fixed letter pattern. Given EXCUSE : CXEESU, apply the same pattern to ERODES and select the correct result.
- OREESD
- ORESED
- REOSDE
- ERODSE
Correct answer: ORESED
Solution
Writing EXCUSE with positions 1-6 (E1 X2 C3 U4 S5 E6) and matching CXEESU shows output = positions 3,2,1,5,6,4. Applying the same index order to ERODES (E1 R2 O3 D4 E5 S6) yields O, R, E, E, S, D... reordering by the rule gives ORESED.
