Question
In a certain code language, ‘GARDENS’ is coded as
‘3 6 7 9 16 20 21’. How will ‘TEACHER’ be coded in that language?Solution
The logic followed here is as follows: Arrange the letters in alphabetical order, then add 2 to the place value of each letter (when written in alphabetical order). G A R D E N S A D E G N R S Adding 2: C(3) F(6) G(7) I(9) P(16) T(20) U(21) Similarly, T E A C H E R A C E E H R T Adding 2: C(3) E(5) G(7) G(7) J(10) T(20) V(22) So, the coded value for TEACHER is ‘3 5 7 7 10 20 22’
