If AWESOME is coded as 1551645, then how will DIGNITY be coded as?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 4975927

Here, each letter is coded as the number obtained by adding the digits of the numeric value of that letter.

AWESOME is coded as 1551645:

A (01) = 0 + 1 = 1, W (23) = 2 + 3 = 5, E (05) = 0 + 5 = 5, S (19) = 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1, O (15) = 1 + 5 = 6, M (13) = 1 + 3 = 4, E (05) = 0 + 5 = 5

Similarly, for DIGNITY:

D (04) = 0 + 4 = 4, I (09) = 0 + 9 = 9, G (07) = 0 + 7 = 7, N (14) = 1 + 4 = 5, I (09) = 0 + 9 = 9, T (20) = 2 + 0 = 2, Y (25) = 2 + 5 = 7

Hence, 4975927 is the correct answer.
