In a certain code language, 'JUNO' is written as '1356' and 'HATE' is written as '8125'. How will 'TOWER' be written in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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'
