Correct Solution: Option C

Step-by-step Solution:

Decoding the Language

To find the original word from the code, we first need to determine the encoding rule from the given example (INTIMATE → ITNIETAM) and then apply the reverse of that rule.

Step 1: Discovering the Encoding Rule

Let's analyze the transformation of the word 'INTIMATE'.

  • The original word is INTIMATE. It has 8 letters.
  • Let's split the word into two equal halves: INTI and MATE.
  • Now let's reverse each half:
    • The reverse of "INTI" is "ITNI".
    • The reverse of "MATE" is "ETAM".
  • Combining these two reversed halves gives us ITNIETAM, which matches the code given in the problem.

The rule is: Split the word into two equal halves, then reverse the letters in each half separately.


Step 2: Applying the Decoding Rule

To decode a word, we apply the exact same rule. The reverse of a reversal brings you back to the original.

The code to be deciphered is TREVNIETARBI. It has 12 letters.

  • First, we split the coded word into two equal halves: TREVNI and ETARBI.
  • Next, we reverse each half:
    • The reverse of "TREVNI" is "INVERT".
    • The reverse of "ETARBI" is "IBRATE".

Step 3: Finding the Original Word

We combine the two decoded halves to form the original word:

INVERT + IBRATE = INVERTIBRATE

Conclusion

The word that has the code TREVNIETARBI is INVERTIBRATE.
