Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: lumasd
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The prompt provides explicit one-to-one mappings from certain lowercase letters to uppercase code letters. We must invert the mapping to decode a sequence of capitals back to lowercase in the given order.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Build the reverse dictionary: M→l, A→u, P→m, S→a, R→s, O→d. Then decode each letter in order, concatenating the results into a single lowercase string.
Step-by-Step Solution:
M→lA→uP→mS→aR→sO→dConcatenate: l u m a s d → "lumasd".
Verification / Alternative check:
Re-encode "lumasd" using the original pairs to get back "MAPSRO".
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing the mapping direction or treating spaces as separators that should be preserved in the answer string.
Final Answer:
lumasd
