Question
If F is coded as 5, I is coded as 8, R is coded as 17 in
a certain code language, then what will be the code for word ‘COURT’ in the same code language?Solution
The alphabets are coded as place value in the English alphabetical series minus 1 in the given code language. Place value of F = 6 → 6 – 1 = 5 Place value of I = 9 → 9 – 1 = 8 Place value of R = 18 → 18 – 1 = 17 So, the code for word ‘COURT’: C = 3 - 1 = 2; O = 15 - 1 = 14; U = 21 - 1 = 20, R = 18 - 1 = 17, T = 20 – 1 = 19. ‘COURT’ is written as ‘2 14 20 17 19’.
