In a certain code language, MACHINE is coded as 5861944. How will STORK be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. 87397.
The logic used here is:
MACHINE is coded as 5861944
Opposite of M = N = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5
Opposite of A = Z = 26 = 2 + 6 = 8
Opposite of C = X = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
Opposite of H = S = 19 = 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1
Opposite of I = R = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9
Opposite of N = M = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4
Opposite of E = V = 22 = 2 + 2 = 4
Similarly;
Code for the word STORK:
Opposite of S = H = 8
Opposite of T = G = 7
Opposite of O = L = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3
Opposite of R = I = 9
Opposite of K = P = 16 = 1 + 6 = 7
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
