In a certain code language, ‘RIVER’ is written as ‘10-3-5-2-10’ then how will ‘PETROL’ be written in the same code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4  i.e. 12-2-8-10-4-16.

Understanding Application

RIVER’ is written as ‘10-3-5-2-10’

R = 10, I = 3, V = 5, E = 2, R = 10.

And code for vowels a, e, i, o, u

A = 1, E = 2, I = 3, O = 4, U = 5

 

From the above information, the code for ‘PETROL’ 

P =

E = 2

T =

R = 10

O = 4

L = 

So a similar code can only be seen in option 4.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
