In a certain code language, GOURD is written as 21-4-5-10-24. How will BRINJAL be written in the same code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 26-10-3-14-18-1-16.

Understanding

The codes are formed by adding one to the reverse positional value of all the consonants.

G = 20 +1 = 21 

R = 9 + 1 = 10

D = 23 + 1 = 24

and the vowels is coded as for their positional value in term of vowels i.e A = 1, E = 2, I = 3,

O = 4,

U = 5.

Similarly

B R I N J A L is coded as

26 10 3 14 18 1 16

Hence the correct answer is 26-10-3-14-18-1-16.
