In a certain code language, 'BELO' is coded as '271217' and 'IGJA' is coded as '117103'. How will 'DUXE' be coded in that language?
- A424268
- B325227
- C324246
- D423247
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.
