Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The coding scheme assigns each letter a value equal to its positional value in the English alphabetical order plus 1.
A=1+1=2
D=4+1=5
Let us check for the word SEA:
S=19+1=20
E=5+1=6
A=1+1=2
Sum=20+6+2=28
Now, calculating the value for COUNTRY:
C=3+1=4
O=15+1=16
U=21+1=22
N=14+1=15
T=20+1=21
R=18+1=19
Y=25+1=26
Total Sum=4+16+22+15+21+19+26=123
A=1+1=2
D=4+1=5
