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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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, \(\frac{113}{8}\)
