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.
