In a certain code language, 'LOAD' is coded as '27241613' and 'CLEAN' is coded as '2725231614'. How will 'STRIKE' be coded in that language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2319171098.

The logic used here is:

 'LOAD' is coded as '27241613'

First, arrange the word in alphabetical order.

LOAD = ADLO

Opposite of A = Z, Z + 1 = 27

Opposite of D = W, W + 1 = 24

Opposite of L = O, O + 1 = P

Opposite of O = L, L + 1 = M

Similarly,

Code for the word STRIKE:

STRIKE = EIKRST

Opposite of E = V, V + 1 = 23

Opposite of I = R, R + 1 = 19

Opposite of K = P, P + 1 = 17

Opposite of R = I, I + 1 = 10

Opposite of S = H, H + 1 = 9

Opposite of T = G, G + 1 = 8

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
