Question from UPSC Prelims 2024 CSAT Paper

Explanation:

ARENA written as ?

To solve this problem, let’s analyze the given examples and find the pattern:

1. ‘POT’ is written as ‘ATOP’
2. ‘TRAP’ is written as ‘APART’

Looking at these examples, we can see that:
– The original word is reversed.
– The letter ‘A’ is added at the beginning.

Now, let’s apply this pattern to ‘ARENA’:

1. Reverse ‘ARENA’: ANERA
2. Add ‘A’ at the beginning: AANERA

Therefore, ‘ARENA’ would be written as ‘AANERA’ in this code.

The correct answer is option d) AANERA.
