In a certain code language, 'BELO' is coded as '271217' and 'IGJA' is coded as '117103'. How will 'DUXE' be coded in that language?

  1. A
    424268
  2. B
    325227
  3. C
    324246
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check the positional numbers of the letters in 'BELO':
B = 2

E = 5

L = 12

O = 15

Now let's look at the code: 271217
Break it down relative to the letters:

B → 2

E → 7 (which is 5+2)

L → 12

O → 17 (which is 15+2)

So the pattern is: Odd positions keep their direct positional value, even positions add 2 to their value.

Let's verify with IGJA → 117103:

I (1st, 9) → 9? Wait, the code starts with 11. Let's see:

If I (9) +2=11

G (2nd, 7) → 7

J (3rd, 10) → 10

A (4th, 1) +2=3
Ah! Let's check Vowels vs Consonants:
In BELO:

B (Consonant) = 2

E (Vowel) = 5+2=7

L (Consonant) = 12

O (Vowel) = 15+2=17
Code: 2 7 12 17 → 271217.

In IGJA:

I (Vowel) = 9+2=11

G (Consonant) = 7

J (Consonant) = 10

A (Vowel) = 1+2=3
Code: 11 7 10 3 → 117103.

So the logic is: Consonants = direct positional value, Vowels = positional value + 2.

Now let's apply this to DUXE:

D (Consonant) = 4

U (Vowel) = 21+2=23

X (Consonant) = 24

E (Vowel) = 5+2=7

Combining them: 423247.
