Question:

In a certain code language, 'JUNO' is written as '1356' and 'HATE' is written as '8125'. How will 'TOWER' be written in that language?

Options:

25659

26659

26559

26569

Correct Answer:

26559

Explanation:

We can see that each letter is assigned a unique digit. One way to approach this pattern is by associating each letter with its corresponding position in the alphabet.

JUNO:

J = 10th letter of the alphabet -> 1

U = 21st letter of the alphabet -> 3

N = 14th letter of the alphabet -> 5

O = 15th letter of the alphabet -> 6

HATE:

H = 8th letter of the alphabet -> 8

A = 1st letter of the alphabet -> 1

T = 20th letter of the alphabet -> 2

E = 5th letter of the alphabet -> 5

By this same logic, the code for 'TOWER' is:

T =  20th letter of the alphabet -> 2

O = 15th letter of the alphabet -> 6

W = 23rd letter of the alphabet -> 5

E = 5th letter of the alphabet -> 5

R = 18th letter of the alphabet -> 9

Therefore, 'TOWER' is written as '26559'
