In a certain code language, ‘MANGO’ is coded as ‘13-2-42-28-75’and ‘GRAPE’ is coded as ‘7-36-3-64-25’. How will ‘APPLE’ be coded 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 LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
M → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 13 × 1 = 13
A → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1 × 2 = 2
N → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 14 × 3 = 42
G → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 7 × 4 = 28
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15 × 5 = 75
AND
G → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 7 × 1 = 7
R → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 18 × 2 = 36
A → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1 × 3 = 3
P → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16 × 4 = 64
E → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 5 × 5 = 25
SIMILARLY
A → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1 × 1 = 1
P → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16 × 2 = 32
P → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16 × 3 = 48
L → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12 × 4 = 48
E → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 5 × 5 = 25
