In a certain code language, ‘ASCRIBE’ is coded as ‘1-3-19-18-2-5-9’, and ‘SOLVENT’ is coded as ‘12-15-19-22-5-14-20’. How will ‘SPECIES’ be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 5-16-19-3-5-9-19.
Logic: Place value of first 3 letters arrange in ascending order and 4th letter place vale is same last 3 letters place vale also arrenge in assending order
‘ASCRIBE’ is coded as ‘1-3-19-18-2-5-9’
A ⇔ 1, S ⇔ 19, C ⇔ 3, R ⇔ 18, I ⇔ 9, B ⇔ 2, E ⇔ 5
Arrange in ascending order - ‘1-3-19-18-2-5-9’
‘SOLVENT’ is coded as ‘12-15-19-22-5-14-20’
S ⇔ 19, O ⇔ 15, L ⇔ 12, V ⇔ 22, E ⇔ 5, N ⇔ 14, T ⇔ 20
Arrange in ascending order - ‘12-15-19-22-5-14-20’
Similarly, ‘SPECIES’ is coded as 5-16-19-3-5-9-19
S ⇔ 19, P ⇔ 16, E ⇔ 5, C ⇔ 3, I ⇔ 9, E ⇔ 5, S ⇔ 19
Arrange in ascending order - 5-16-19-3-5-9-19
