In a certain code language, ‘SPIRIT’ is coded as ‘65’ and ‘DENSE’ is coded as ‘83’. How will ‘LOGICAL’ be coded in that language?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's look at the positional values of letters or their opposites:
For SPIRIT:
Testbook
Positional values: S(19), P(16), I(9), R(18), I(9), T(20)
Sum = 19+16+9+18+9+20=91. (Not 65).
Let's check opposite positional values:
S → 8, P → 11, I → 18, R → 9, I → 18, T → 7
Sum of opposites = 8+11+18+9+18+7=71. (Not 65).
Let's look at DENSE:
Positional values: D(4), E(5), N(14), S(19), E(5)
Sum = 4+5+14+19+5=47.
Opposite positional values: D → 23, E → 22, N → 13, S → 8, E → 22
Sum of opposites = 23+22+13+8+22=88.
Let's notice the relationships:
For SPIRIT: Sum = 91, Code = 65. Difference = 91−65=26.
For DENSE: Sum of opposites = 88, Code = 83. Difference = 88−83=5 (number of letters?).
Let's see if there's a consonant/vowel logic.
Let's try another approach:
Multiply number of vowels/consonants?
What if DENSE code 83 is simply the sum of opposites minus number of letters? 88−5=83.
Let's check if this works for SPIRIT using standard sum or opposite sum:
If SPIRIT uses standard sum: 91−26=65. Note that 26 is the positional value of Z or random.
What if SPIRIT code 65 is derived from the opposite sum? Opposite sum was 71. 71−6=65 (where 6 is the number of letters in SPIRIT!).
Wow! The rule is: Sum of opposite position values − Number of letters.
Let's verify:
For SPIRIT: Sum of opposites = 71. Number of letters = 6. Code = 71−6=65.
For DENSE: Sum of opposites = 88. Number of letters = 5. Code = 88−5=83.
Both fit perfectly! Now let's calculate for LOGICAL:
Opposite letters of L, O, G, I, C, A, L:
L → O (15)
O → L (12)
G → T (20)
I → R (18)
C → X (24)
A → Z (26)
L → O (15)
Sum of opposite values = 15+12+20+18+24+26+15=130.
Number of letters in LOGICAL = 7.
Code = 130−7=123.
For SPIRIT:
Testbook
Positional values: S(19), P(16), I(9), R(18), I(9), T(20)
Sum = 19+16+9+18+9+20=91. (Not 65).
Let's check opposite positional values:
S → 8, P → 11, I → 18, R → 9, I → 18, T → 7
Sum of opposites = 8+11+18+9+18+7=71. (Not 65).
Let's look at DENSE:
Positional values: D(4), E(5), N(14), S(19), E(5)
Sum = 4+5+14+19+5=47.
Opposite positional values: D → 23, E → 22, N → 13, S → 8, E → 22
Sum of opposites = 23+22+13+8+22=88.
Let's notice the relationships:
For SPIRIT: Sum = 91, Code = 65. Difference = 91−65=26.
For DENSE: Sum of opposites = 88, Code = 83. Difference = 88−83=5 (number of letters?).
Let's see if there's a consonant/vowel logic.
Let's try another approach:
Multiply number of vowels/consonants?
What if DENSE code 83 is simply the sum of opposites minus number of letters? 88−5=83.
Let's check if this works for SPIRIT using standard sum or opposite sum:
If SPIRIT uses standard sum: 91−26=65. Note that 26 is the positional value of Z or random.
What if SPIRIT code 65 is derived from the opposite sum? Opposite sum was 71. 71−6=65 (where 6 is the number of letters in SPIRIT!).
Wow! The rule is: Sum of opposite position values − Number of letters.
Let's verify:
For SPIRIT: Sum of opposites = 71. Number of letters = 6. Code = 71−6=65.
For DENSE: Sum of opposites = 88. Number of letters = 5. Code = 88−5=83.
Both fit perfectly! Now let's calculate for LOGICAL:
Opposite letters of L, O, G, I, C, A, L:
L → O (15)
O → L (12)
G → T (20)
I → R (18)
C → X (24)
A → Z (26)
L → O (15)
Sum of opposite values = 15+12+20+18+24+26+15=130.
Number of letters in LOGICAL = 7.
Code = 130−7=123.
