Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 26222436384450.
The logic used here is:
'LIBERTY' is coded as '4221824364050'
1. First, arrange the letters in alphabetical order.
2. Vowels are coded in opposite alphabetical order.
3. Consonants are multiplied by 2 with their respective positional values to get the code.
LIBERTY = BEILRTY
B = 2 × 2 = 4
E = V = 22
I = R = 18
L = 12 × 2 = 24
R = 18 × 2 = 36
T = 20 × 2 = 40
Y = 25 × 2 = 50
Similarly,
Code for the word SLAVERY:
SLAVERY = AELRSVY
A = Z = 26
E = V = 22
L = 12 × 2 = 24
R = 18 × 2 = 36
S = 19 × 2 = 38
V = 22 × 2 = 44
Y = 25 × 2 = 50
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
