In a certain code language, ‘EXPLAIN’ is coded as ‘15912141624’. How will ‘SACRED’ be coded in that language?
- A13145189
- B19181514
- C14131598
- D13451819
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's look at the positional values of letters in 'EXPLAIN':
E = 5, X = 24, P = 16, L = 12, A = 1, I = 9, N = 14
Now let's sort these positional numbers in ascending order:
1, 5, 9, 12, 14, 16, 24
When combined together, they form the code string: 15912141624.
Thus, the logic is to take the alphabetical positional values of all letters in the word and arrange them in ascending numerical order.
Let's apply this to 'SACRED':
S = 19
A = 1
C = 3
R = 18
E = 5
D = 4
Arranging these values (1, 19, 3, 18, 5, 4) in ascending order:
1, 3, 4, 5, 18, 19
Concatenating them gives: 13451819
