In a certain code language, LION is coded as 12-9-15-14, and GOAT is coded as 7-15-1-20. How will LAMB be coded in that language?
- A11-1-12-2
- B11-1-12-3
- C12-2-14-3
- D12-1-13-2
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The coding scheme uses the standard positional values of the English alphabet (A=1,B=2,…,Z=26).
For LION:
L=12, I=9, O=15, N=14→12-9-15-14
For GOAT:
G=7, O=15, A=1, T=20→7-15-1-20
Applying the same logic to LAMB:
L=12
A=1
M=13
B=2
Hence, LAMB is coded as 12-1-13-2.
For LION:
L=12, I=9, O=15, N=14→12-9-15-14
For GOAT:
G=7, O=15, A=1, T=20→7-15-1-20
Applying the same logic to LAMB:
L=12
A=1
M=13
B=2
Hence, LAMB is coded as 12-1-13-2.
