Instructions: In a certain code language, a specific rule is applied to transform words. Analyze the given example and then apply the same rule to find the coded form of the target word.
If “CAB” is coded as “3 1 4”,
Then how will “DREAM” be coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The pattern followed here is:
• All letters are coded as their exact alphabetical position values, except the 3rd letter, whose positional value is multiplied by 2.
For CAB:
• C (1st letter) = 3
• A (2nd letter) = 1
• B (3rd letter) = 2 × 2 = 4
• Code = 3 1 4
Similarly, for DREAM:
• D (1st letter) = 4
• R (2nd letter) = 18
• E (3rd letter) = 5 × 2 = 10
• A (4th letter) = 1
• M (5th letter) = 13
• Code = 4 18 10 1 13
Therefore, the correct option is (B).
