Different "patterns" for Opposite order positioning of letters in Coding & Decoding (Verbal Reasoning):

Under this pattern, each letter of a word is coded with its opposite letter.

Let us considered the coding of ABCD which can be done in following ways as follows

(i) Formart 1: 'ABCD' coded with opposite letters in forward order.

(ii) Format 2: 'ABCD' coded with opposite letters in backward order.
