In a certain code language, ‘CITY’ is written as ‘241872’, and ‘DRUG’ is written as ‘239620’. How will ‘GOLF’ be written in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 20121521.

Logic: Positional value of opposite alphabets. 

‘CITY’ is written as ‘241872’

C ⇔ X = 24, I ⇔ R = 18, T ⇔ G = 7, Y ⇔ B = 2

‘DRUG’ is written as ‘239620’

D ⇔ W = 23, R ⇔ I = 9, U ⇔ F = 6, G ⇔ T = 20

Similarly, ‘GOLF’ is written as '20121521'

G ⇔ T = 20, O ⇔ L = 12, L ⇔ O = 15, F ⇔ U = 21
