Explanation:
To find the code of the word META, we need to follow the given rules:
1. Arrange the English alphabet in such a way that all the vowels are put at the end.
The arrangement would be: BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZAEIOU
2. Now, we need to arrange the remaining letters from the first letter onwards.
The arrangement would be: BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZA
3. Assign positions to each letter in the original alphabet.
A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4, E - 5, F - 6, G - 7, H - 8, I - 9, J - 10, K - 11, L - 12, M - 13, N - 14, O - 15, P - 16, Q - 17, R - 18, S - 19, T - 20, U - 21, V - 22, W - 23, X - 24, Y - 25, Z - 26
Code of META:
M - 13 (Position in original alphabet)
E - 5 (Position in original alphabet)
T - 20 (Position in original alphabet)
A - 1 (Position in original alphabet)
4. Now, find the corresponding letters in the rearranged alphabet and form the code.
M - Q (13th letter in the rearranged alphabet)
E - G (5th letter in the rearranged alphabet)
T - Y (20th letter in the rearranged alphabet)
A - B (1st letter in the rearranged alphabet)
Therefore, the code of META is QGYB.
Answer:
The code of META is QGYB.
