In a certain code, each capital letter is replaced by its alphabetical position plus 5, and each small letter is replaced by its alphabetical position minus 3.
How is "AbC" coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
According to the given rules:
• Capital letter: (Alphabetical position) + 5
• Small letter: (Alphabetical position) − 3
Applying this to "AbC":
• A (Capital, position 1) = 1 + 5 = 6
• b (Small, position 2) = 2 − 3 = -1
• C (Capital, position 3) = 3 + 5 = 8
Therefore, "AbC" is coded as 6 - 1 8.
