In a code language, 'SLEEK' is coded as 37 and 'FOLD' is coded as 25. How will 'YATCH' be coded in the same language?
- A40
- B48
- C52
- D42
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find out how the numerical values are obtained by checking the positional values of letters (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).Word 1: SLEEKPositional values: Sum of values: But the code is 37. Let's look at the relationship: .Let's test another logic: What about opposite positional values?Opposite values: Sum = (Not related to 37 directly).Let's look at another angle: , or some fixed variation?Let's check FOLD:Positional values: Sum of values: Code is 25. Relationship: .Notice the number subtracted:For SLEEK (5 letters): Subtracted 15 For FOLD (4 letters): Subtracted 12 Pattern: Let's verify:SLEEK: . Correct.FOLD: . Correct.Applying the pattern to YATCH:Positional values: Sum of values: Number of letters = 5.Code = .Therefore, YATCH is coded as 42.
