Question

In a certain code language, 'LTRH' is coded as '58' and 'NBZW' is coded as '65'. How is 'GSCE' coded in the given language?

• A. 34
• B. 40
• C. 31
• D. 39

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 34

Let’s decode the pattern using alphabetical positions:

Convert letters to positions

LTRH

• L = 12, T = 20, R = 18, H = 8
  Sum = (12 + 20 + 18 + 8 = 58)

NBZW

• N = 14, B = 2, Z = 26, W = 23
  Sum = (14 + 2 + 26 + 23 = 65)

Pattern: Code = sum of letter positions

Apply to GSCE

• G = 7

• S = 19

• C = 3

• E = 5

7 + 19 + 3 + 5 = 34
