Question
In a certain code language, the letters of the English
alphabet are coded as per their alphabetical order (A as 1 and Z as 26). However, if a consonant is immediately followed as well as preceded by a vowel, its code would be '77'. What will be the code for 'WHITEN' in this language?Solution
To code the word 'WHITEN' as per the given rules: 1. Code the letters as per their alphabetical order, with A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26. 2. Replace the code of any consonant that is both preceded and followed by a vowel with '77'. Let's break down 'WHITEN': • W = 23 • H = 8 • I = 9 • T = 20 • E = 5 • N = 14 Now, applying the special rule for consonants surrounded by vowels: • W is not surrounded by vowels. • H is followed by I (a vowel) but is preceded by W (not a vowel), so it stays 8. • I is a vowel. • T is surrounded by I and E (both vowels), so its code becomes '77'. • E is a vowel. • N is not surrounded by vowels. Thus, the code for 'WHITEN' becomes 238977514. The correct answer is option 4.
