Logic: The word is first reversed and then each alphabet is coded as its positional value in English alphabet series + 2 HARVEST is coded as 22-21-7-24-20-3-10 Reverse of HARVEST: TSEVRAH T = 20 + 2 = 22 S = 19 + 2 = 21 E = 5 + 2 = 7 V = 22 + 2 = 24 R = 18 + 2 = 20 A = 1 + 2 = 3 H = 8 + 2 = 10 |
Similarly for FARMER, Reverse of FARMER: REMRAF R = 18 + 2 = 20 E = 5 + 2 = 7 M = 13 + 2 = 15 R = 18 + 2 = 20 A = 1 + 2 = 3 F = 6 + 2 = 8 Hence, code for FARMER is 20-7-15-20-3-8 |
