Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 3-13-8-2-24-7
| Understanding | Application |

The logic used here is: Vowels are coded as A → 1, E → 2, I → 3, O → 4, U → 5 And the consonants are replaced by reverse positional values (B - 25, C - 24 and so on) L ⇒ 15 A ⇒ 1 R ⇒ 9 V ⇒ 5 A ⇒ 1 E ⇒ 2 |
Thus, the code for the word INSECT will be: I ⇒ 3 N ⇒ 13 S ⇒ 8 E ⇒ 2 C ⇒ 24 T ⇒ 7 Hence, the correct answer is 3-13-8-2-24-7. |
