In a certain code language, the word TECHNOLOGY is written as ETHCONOLYG. How will the word GENERATION be written in that language?

AEGENARITNO ✓ Correct

BEGNERATINO

CEGENARTINO

DEGENARITON

Correct answer: (A) EGENARITNO

Explanation

GENERATION becomes EGENARITNO.

The rule swaps letters in adjacent pairs.

TECHNOLOGY: (TE)(CH)(NO)(LO)(GY) to (ET)(HC)(ON)(OL)(YG) = ETHCONOLYG.

GENERATION as pairs: (GE)(NE)(RA)(TI)(ON).

Swapping each pair: (EG)(EN)(AR)(IT)(NO).

So GENERATION = EGENARITNO.
