We know that, each letter of the English alphabet series is represented by numeric values from 1 to 26. Here, each letter is coded as the number obtained by adding the digits of numeric value of that letter.
FINANCIAL is coded as 695153913: F (06) = 0 + 6 = 6 I (09) = 0 + 9 = 9 N (14) = 1 + 4 = 5 A (01) = 0 + 1 = 1 N (14) = 1 + 4 = 5 C (03) = 0 + 3 = 3 I (09) = 0 + 9 = 9 A (01) = 0 + 1 = 1 L (12) = 1 + 2 = 3 |
Similarly, for LUCRATIVE: L (12) = 1 + 2 = 3 U (21) = 2 + 1 = 3 C (03) = 0 + 3 = 3 R (18) = 1 + 8 = 9 A (01) = 0 + 1 = 1 T (20) = 2 + 0 = 2 I (09) = 0 + 9 = 9 V (22) = 2 + 2 = 4 E (05) = 0 + 5 = 5 Hence, 333912945 is the correct answer. |
