Question:

In a code language, VACCINE is written as $\frac{132}{7}$ and MASKS is written as $\frac{72}{5}$. How will SANITIZE be written in that language?

Options:

$\frac{113}{8}$

$\frac{89}{7}$

$\frac{113}{7}$

$\frac{89}{8}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{113}{8}$

Explanation:

1   2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

**********************************************************

The pattern here;

(sum of opposite positional value of the letters \(\div \) no. of letters)

So,

V → 5

A → 26

C → 24

C → 24

I → 18

N → 13

E → 22

=> 5+26+24+24+18+13+22

=> 132  \(\div \) 7

so, \(\frac{132}{7}\)

Similarly,

S → 8

A → 26

N → 13

I → 18

T → 7

I → 18

Z → 1

E → 22

=> 8+26+13+18+7+18+1+22

=> 113  \(\div \) 8

thus, \(\frac{113}{8}\)
