In a certain code language, 'PGMS' is coded as '9-18-12-6' and 'TBRX' is coded as '5-23- 7-1'. What is the code for 'KAVO' in the given language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 14-24-3-10.

Logic: Code = Place value of opposite letters - 2 

'PGMS' is coded as '9-18-12-6'

P ⇔ K ⇔ 11 - 2 = 9, G ⇔ T ⇔ 20 - 2 = 18, M ⇔ N ⇔ 14 - 2 = 12, S ⇔ H ⇔ 8 - 2 = 6

'TBRX' is coded as '5-23- 7-1'

T ⇔ G ⇔ 7 - 2 = 5, B ⇔ Y ⇔ 25 - 2 = 23, R ⇔ I ⇔ 9 - 2 = 7, X ⇔ C ⇔ 3 - 2 = 1

Similarly, 'KAVO' is coded as ' 14-24-3-10'

K ⇔ P ⇔ 16 - 2 = 14, A ⇔  Z ⇔  26 - 2 = 24, V ⇔ E ⇔ 5 - 2 = 3, O ⇔ L ⇔ 12 - 2 = 10
