In a certain code language, 'WAVE' is coded as ‘426522’ and ‘SOUND’ is coded as ’81261323’. How will 'LIGHT' be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 151820197
'WAVE' is coded as ‘426522’ and ‘SOUND’ is coded as ’81261323’.
The logic used here is:
W A V E :- 426522
23 1 22 5 ⇒ (26 - 23) + 1 (26 - 1) + 1 (26 - 22) + 1 (26 - 5) + 1 ⇒ 4 26 5 22
S O U N D :- 81261323
19 15 20 14 4 ⇒ (26 - 19) + 1 (26 - 15) + 1 (26 - 21) + 1 (26 - 14) + 1 (26 - 4) + 1 ⇒
8 12 6 13 23
Similarly, L I G H T
12 9 7 8 20 ⇒ (26 - 12) + 1 (26 - 9) + 1 (26 - 7) + 1 (26 - 8) + 1 (26 - 20) + 1 ⇒
15 18 20 19 7
So, 'LIGHT' will be coded as '151820197'.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
