Question
If ‘STAPLE’ is coded as ‘7’, ‘VACCINE’ is
coded as '13', then what is the code for ‘TAMARIND’ in the same code language?Solution
The logic followed here is as follows: The words are coded as the difference between the positional value of the first letter and the fifth letter from the left end, as per the English Alphabetical series. For ‘STAPLE’, Difference of (19 - 12) = 7 So, ‘STAPLE’ is coded as '7'. For ‘VACCINE’, Difference of (22 - 9) = 13 So, ‘VACCINE’ is coded as 13. For TAMARIND’, Difference of (20 - 18) = 2 So, 'TAMARIND' is coded as '2'.
