In a certain code language, ‘CAKE’ is written as ‘6874’, and ‘EASY’ is written as ‘4882’. How will ‘MAKE’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5874.

‘CAKE’ is written as ‘6874’

C ⇔ X = 24 → 2 + 4 = 6; A ⇔ Z = 26 → 2 + 6 = 8; K ⇔ P = 16 → 1 + 6 = 7; E ⇔ V = 22 → 2 + 2 = 4

‘EASY’ is written as ‘4882’

E ⇔ V = 22 → 2 + 2 = 4; A ⇔ Z = 26 → 2 + 6 = 8; S ⇔ H = 8; Y ⇔ B = 2

Similarly; Code for the word MAKE:

M ⇔ N = 14 → 1 + 4 = 5; A ⇔ Z = 26 → 2 + 6 = 8; K ⇔ P = 16 → 1 + 6 = 7; E ⇔ V = 22 → 2 + 2 = 4

Hence, 5874 is the correct answer.
