Question

In a certain code lanquage, 'MRGF' is coded as "15-20-9-8' and 'YDXB' is coded as

'27-6-26-4'. What is the code for 'JWAS' in the given code language?

• A. 14-27-5-23
• B. 11-23-2-22
• C. 12-25-3-21
• D. 16-28-6-24

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 12-25-3-21

MRGF → 15-20-9-8

Letter positions:

• M = 13 → 15 (+2)

• R = 18 → 20 (+2)

• G = 7 → 9 (+2)

• F = 6 → 8 (+2)

YDXB → 27-6-26-4

Letter positions:

• Y = 25 → 27 (+2)

• D = 4 → 6 (+2)

• X = 24 → 26 (+2)

• B = 2 → 4 (+2)

Rule: Each letter is replaced by its alphabetical position + 2.

Apply the rule to JWAS

Alphabetical positions:

• J = 10 → 12

• W = 23 → 25

• A = 1 → 3

• S = 19 → 21

JWAS → 12-25-3-21
