In a certain code language, STATION is coded as 21-22-3-22-11-17-16, and CRUEL is coded as 5-20-23-7-14. How will VIXEN be coded in that language?

Solution

The logic followed here is: Positional value of each alphabet + 2   STATION is coded as 21-22-3-22-11-17-16   S = 19+2 = 21; T =20+2 = 22; A = 1+2 = 3; T = 20+2 = 22; I = 9+2 = 11; O = 15 + 2 = 17; N = 14 + 2 = 16 CRUEL is coded as 5-20-23-7-14   C = 3+2 = 5; R =18+2 = 20; U= 21+2 = 23; E = 5+2 = 7; L = 12+2 = 14   Similarly, VIXEN will be coded as:   V = 22+2 = 24; I = 9+2 = 11; X = 24+2 = 26; E = 5+2 = 7; N = 14+2 = 16   Thus, VIXEN will be coded as 24-11-26-7-16. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
