In a certain code language, TANK is coded as 7–26–13–16. How will CAMP be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 24–26–14–11
Each letter is written as its place counted from Z (Z = 1, Y = 2, ..., A = 26). A letter at place n from A is at place \(27 - n\) from Z.
TANK: T (20) gives \(27 - 20 = 7\), A (1) gives 26, N (14) gives 13, K (11) gives 16: 7–26–13–16
C (3) gives \(27 - 3 = 24\)
A (1) gives \(27 - 1 = 26\)
M (13) gives \(27 - 13 = 14\)
P (16) gives \(27 - 16 = 11\)
So CAMP is coded as 24–26–14–11.
