In a certain code language, 'PHENYL' is coded as ‘9-11-17-8-5-13’, and 'COLONY' is coded as ‘6-12-13-12-8-5’. How will 'COLONEL' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6-12-13-12-8-17-13.
The logic used here is:
'PHENYL' is coded as ‘9-11-17-8-5-13’
P = 9
H = 11
E = 17
N = 8
Y = 5
L = 13
'COLONY' is coded as ‘6-12-13-12-8-5’
C = 6
O = 12
L = 13
O = 12
N = 8
Y = 5
Similarly,
Code for the word COLONEL:
C = 6
O = 12
L = 13
O = 12
N = 8
E = 17
L = 13
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
