Question
The code for the word RAMSHACKLE in a certain language is 23-6-18-24-13-6-8-16-17-10. What will be the code for the word ONEROUS in that language?
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).
