Question

If the word ‘EXAMINATION’ is coded as 56149512965, then the word ‘GOVERNMENT’ is coded as:

• A. 7645954553
• B. 7645954552
• C. 7645954652
• D. 7645854552

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 7645954552

• A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26.

• E is the 5th letter.

• X is the 24th letter. (2 + 4 = 6)

• A is the 1st letter.

• M is the 13th letter. (1 + 3 = 4)

• I is the 9th letter.

• N is the 14th letter. (1 + 4 = 5)

• A is the 1st letter.

• T is the 20th letter. (2 + 0 = 2)

• I is the 9th letter.

• O is the 15th letter. (1 + 5 = 6)

• N is the 14th letter. (1 + 4 = 5)

If we sum the digits of the positional values for letters with two-digit positions, we get:

• E = 5

• X = 2 + 4 = 6

• A = 1

• M = 1 + 3 = 4

• I = 9

• N = 1 + 4 = 5

• A = 1

• T = 2 + 0 = 2

• I = 9

• O = 1 + 5 = 6

• N = 1 + 4 = 5

Concatenating these values gives: 56149512965. This matches the given code for EXAMINATION.

Applying the Rule to GOVERNMENT

• G is the 7th letter.

• O is the 15th letter. (1 + 5 = 6)

• V is the 22nd letter. (2 + 2 = 4)

• E is the 5th letter.

• R is the 18th letter. (1 + 8 = 9)

• N is the 14th letter. (1 + 4 = 5)

• M is the 13th letter. (1 + 3 = 4)

• E is the 5th letter.

• N is the 14th letter. (1 + 4 = 5)

• T is the 20th letter. (2 + 0 = 2)

Concatenating these derived values results in: 7645954552.
