Question:

In a certain code language, 'LIBERTY' is coded as '4221824364050'. How will 'SLAVERY' be coded in that language?

Options:

26222436384450

22262438365040

26224233684540

22242636384050

Correct Answer:

26222436384450

Explanation:

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;

(arranging letters according to the alphabetical series)

(all consonants place value x2 and is coded as numeric values)

(opposite letter place value of vowels are coded as numeric values)

So,

 'LIBERTY' is coded as '4221824364050'

LIBERTY = BEILRTY

B(2)  x2= 4

E(5)    = 22         (opposite value of E)

I(9)   = 18         (opposite value of I)

L(12)  x2= 24 

R(18)  x2= 36

T(20)  x2= 40

Y(25)  x2= 50

Similarly,

'SLAVERY' be coded as ...?

SLAVERY = AELRSVY

A(1)  = 26

E(5)  = 22

L(12)  x2= 24

R(18)  x2= 36

S(19)  x2= 38

V(22)  x2= 44

Y(25)  x2= 50

Thus, 26222436384450 is correct.
