In a certain code language, 'JUNO' is written as '1356' and 'HATE' is written as '8125'. How will 'TOWER' be written in that language? |
25659 26659 26559 26569 |
26559 |
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'
