In a certain code language, ‘WELCOME’ is coded as '3  5  5  12  13  15  23' and ‘REGRET’ is coded as '5  5  7  18  18  20'. How will ‘DEFINE’ be coded, in that language?

Solution

The logic followed here is as follows, The place value of the all the letter, as per English alphabetical order, are written in decreasing order form left to right. W        E         L          C         O         M         E 23        5          12        3          15        13        5 3          5          5          12        13        15        23 (Decreasing order). R         E         G         R         E         T 18        5          7          18        5          20 5          5          7          18        18        20 (Decreasing order). D         E         F          I           N         E 4          5          6          9          14        5 4          5          5          6          9          14 (Decreasing order).
