In a certain code language, 'HASTY' is coded as '2782619'. How will 'BLAME' be coded in that language?

  1. A
    2214261525
  2. B
    2213261225
  3. C
    2523262215
  4. D
    2515261422

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the coding rule used for HASTY → 2782619:
Let's check the reverse positional values (opposite letters) of each letter:

H → Opposite is S (19)

A → Opposite is Z (26)

S → Opposite is H (8)

T → Opposite is G (7)

Y → Opposite is B (2)

If we reverse the sequence of these opposite values:
Values: 19, 26, 8, 7, 2
Reversed sequence: 2, 7, 8, 26, 19 → 2782619.

Now let's apply this logic to BLAME:
Find opposite alphabetical positions:

B → Opposite is Y (25)

L → Opposite is O (15)

A → Opposite is Z (26)

M → Opposite is N (14)

E → Opposite is V (22)

The opposite values are: 25, 15, 26, 14, 22.
Reversing this sequence gives: 22, 14, 26, 15, 25 → 2214261525.
