If ‘SPANK’ is coded as ‘PSNAK’, then how will ‘THROW’ be coded?

The correct answer is Option (1) → HTORW

In SPANK the letters are swapped in pairs and the last letter stays in place.

• SPANK splits as SP | AN | K

• SP becomes PS, AN becomes NA, K stays: PS NA K

• THROW splits as TH | RO | W

• TH becomes HT, RO becomes OR, W stays: HTORW
