Using the same transformation rule: CONTROL : NOCTRLO :: MISTAKE : SIMTAEK :: JOURNAL : ?
- AOUNRJL
- OJRLAUN
- JRNAOUL
- UOJRNLA
Correct answer: UOJRNLA
Solution
Mapping CONTROL→NOCTRLO: C(1)O(2)N(3)T(4)R(5)L(6)O(7) → N(3)O(2)C(1)T(4)R(5)L(6)O(7)? That gives NOCTRLO — pattern is positions 3,2,1,4,5,6,7 (first 3 reversed, rest same). Verify MISTAKE→SIMTAEK: M(1)I(2)S(3)T(4)A(5)K(6)E(7) → positions 3,2,1,4,5,6,7 = S,I,M,T,A,K,E = SIMTAKE ≠ SIMTAEK. Try another mapping: CONTROL→NOCTRLO means 3142567→wrong. Let's map directly: C→N(pos3), O→O(pos2), N→C(pos1), T→T(pos4), R→R(pos5), L→L(pos6)? No, NOCTRLO: N-O-C-T-R-L-O. Original CONTROL: C-O-N-T-R-O-L. Mapping: output[1]=N=input[3], output[2]=O=input[2], output[3]=C=input[1], output[4]=T=input[4], output[5]=R=input[5], output[6]=L=input[7], output[7]=O=input[6]. Pattern: 3,2,1,4,5,7,6. Verify MISTAKE(M-I-S-T-A-K-E): pos 3,2,1,4,5,7,6 = S,I,M,T,A,E,K = SIMTAEK ✓. Apply to JOURNAL(J-O-U-R-N-A-L): pos 3,2,1,4,5,7,6 = U,O,J,R,N,L,A = UOJRNLA.
