Question

Each question involves rearranging specific positions of the letters from the original word, and you must choose the correct transformed version from the options. PLANET is to EAPLNT as TARGET is to:

1. A. AGE TRT
2. B. GAE TRT
3. C. ERT AGT (Correct answer)
4. D. GEA TRT

Correct Answer

Option C — ERT AGT

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is ERT AGT.

Key Points

• Decode the transformation using PLANET → EAPLNT.
• Number PLANET's letters: P(1) L(2) A(3) N(4) E(5) T(6).
• The output EAPLNT reads positions 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 6.
• Apply the same position map to TARGET: T(1) A(2) R(3) G(4) E(5) T(6) → positions 5,3,1,2,4,6 give E, R, T, A, G, T = ERTAGT, shown in the options as 'ERT AGT'.
• Always derive the position map from the solved example first; guessing 'similar-looking' options without the map is how these questions trap you.
