In a certain code language, 'PROCLAMATION' is coded as 161843121131203414, and 'MENACE' is coded as 13214132. How will 'LISTENER' be coded in that language?
- A1231919204218
- B1231920214218
- C1213019214218
- D1232019214218
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the coding scheme by looking at the vowels and consonants separately:
Scribd
For MENACE → 13 2 14 1 3 2
M (Consonant) =13 (its normal alphabetical position)
Wikipedia
E (Vowel) =2 (Vowels are A=1,E=2,I=3,O=4,U=5)
N (Consonant) =14
A (Vowel) =1
C (Consonant) =3
E (Vowel) =2
Let's cross-verify with PROCLAMATION:
P=16
R=18
O=4 (vowel position)
C=3
L=12
A=1
M=13
A=1
T=20
I=3
O=4
N=14
Stringing them together: 161843121131203414. It matches perfectly.
Now apply this rule to LISTENER:
L=12 (consonant)
I=3 (vowel)
S=19 (consonant)
Filo
T=20 (consonant)
Filo
E=2 (vowel)
N=14 (consonant)
E=2 (vowel)
R=18 (consonant)
Combining all the numbers: 1231920214218.
