In a certain code, the word DEAL is coded as 16-25-1-144, then how will you code LADY?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 144-1-16-625
Each letter is written as the square of its place in the alphabet.
DEAL: D = 4, E = 5, A = 1, L = 12, and \(4^2, 5^2, 1^2, 12^2\) = 16-25-1-144
LADY: L = 12, A = 1, D = 4, Y = 25, so the code is \(12^2, 1^2, 4^2, 25^2\) = 144-1-16-625
