In a certain code language, 'QUICK' is coded as '162418610'. How will 'FOUND' be coded in that language?

  1. A
    231421126
  2. B
    413211221
  3. C
    213411261
  4. D
    231361221

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the relation between letters in QUICK and the numbers 16, 24, 18, 6, 10.Let's check the positional value of opposite letters (27 - position):Q (17) opposite is 10U (21) opposite is 6I (9) opposite is 18C (3) opposite is 24K (11) opposite is 16Notice that the opposite values are: 10, 6, 18, 24, 16.The given code is '162418610'. If we write the opposite values in completely reversed order:16 | 24 | 18 | 6 | 10 162418610.So the rule is: Find the opposite letter position value for each letter, then reverse the entire sequence.Let's apply this to FOUND:Get positions: F=6, O=15, U=21, N=14, D=4.Get opposite positions (27 - position):F 27 - 6 = 21O 27 - 15 = 12U 27 - 21 = 6N 27 - 14 = 13D 27 - 4 = 23The sequence of opposite codes is: 21, 12, 6, 13, 23.Reverse the entire sequence: 23, 13, 6, 12, 21.Concatenating them gives: 231361221.
