In a certain code language, ‘INTERNAL’ is coded as ‘91320221813115’, ‘MOUNTAIN’ is coded as ‘131221132026913’. What is the code for ‘PAYMENTS’ in that code language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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;
(positional value of odd letters)
(opposite positional value of even letters)
So,
I(9) --> 9
N(14) --> 13 (opposite positional value of N)
T(20) --> 20
E(5) --> 22 (opposite positional value of E)
R(18) --> 18
N(14) --> 13 (opposite positional value of N)
A(1) --> 1
L(12) --> 15 (opposite positional value of L)
And,
M(13) --> 13
O(15) --> 12 (opposite positional value of O)
U(21) --> 21
N(14) -->13 (opposite positional value of N)
T(20) --> 20
A(1) --> 26 (opposite positional value of A)
I(9) --> 9
N(14) --> 13 (opposite positional value of N)
Similarly,
P(16) --> 16
A(1) --> 26 (opposite positional value of A)
Y(25) --> 25
M(13) --> 14 (opposite positional value of M)
E(5) --> 5
N(14) --> 13 (opposite positional value of N)
T(20) --> 20
S(19) --> 8 (opposite positional value of S)
Thus, 16262514513208 is correct.
