In a certain code language, 'RUB' is written as '22118', and 'SOW' is written as '231519'. How will 'WHY' be written in that language?

  1. A
    72467
  2. B
    25103
  3. C
    23825
  4. D
    25823

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check the alphabetical position values of the letters in each word:
For 'RUB':

R = 18, U = 21, B = 2

Written backwards/reversed order of positional values: 2, 21, 18 → '22118'.

For 'SOW':

S = 19, O = 15, W = 23

Written backwards/reversed order of positional values: 23, 15, 19 → '231519'.

Applying the same logic to 'WHY':

W = 23, H = 8, Y = 25

Writing the positions in reverse order from last letter to first letter: 25, 8, 23 → '25823'.
