If WATER is coded as 23-1-20-5-18, how is EARTH coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Each letter of the given word WATER is coded as:
W → 23
A → 1
T → 20
E → 5
R → 18
Together, these are written as 23-1-20-5-18.
Now, apply the same pattern to EARTH:
E → 5
A → 1
R → 18
T → 20
H → 8
Thus, the code for EARTH is 5-1-18-20-8.
The correct answer is 5-1-18-20-8.
