    is 23-6-18-24-13-6-8-16-17-10. What will be the code for the word ONEROUS in that language?
    A 22-5-6-9-10-20-25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7-23-21-15-19-10-2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15-14-5-18-15-21-19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20-19-10-23-20-26-24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The code is the actual position of the letter in English alphabet + 5. Thus, A (whose actual position is 1) is coded as 1+5 = 6. R (whose actual position is 18) is coded as 18+5 = 23, and so on.   Thus, ONEROUS would be coded as (15+5) – (14+5) – (5+5) – (18+5) – (15+5) – (21+5) – (19+5) i.e., 20-19-10-23-20-26-24.   Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
