In a certain code language, ROCKET is coded as 184311220 and PLUNGE is coded as 161251472. How will TANGLE be coded in that language?
- A201648122
- B201147125
- C201147122
- D201137122
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's decipher the coding system for ROCKET:
R=18
O=15→ coded as 4 (If we consider vowels A=1,E=2,I=3,O=4,U=5)
C=3
K=11
E=5→ coded as 2 (vowel position)
T=20
Putting them together: 18 (R) 4 (O) 3 (C) 11 (K) 2 (E) 20 (T)→184311220.
Let's check PLUNGE:
P=16
L=12
U=5 (5th vowel)
N=14
G=7
E=2 (2nd vowel)
Matches 161251472 perfectly!
Applying this to TANGLE:
T=20
A=1 (1st vowel)
N=14
G=7
L=12
E=2 (2nd vowel)
Combining the digits gives: 201147122
