In a certain code language, 'REFUSAL' is coded as '2101239103' and 'POETRY' is coded as '1067927'. How will 'PROFIT' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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;
(arrange the letters according to the alphabetical series)
So,
REFUSAL--> AEFLRSU
A(1) x2= 2
E(5) x2= 10
F(6) x2= 12
L(12) (1+2)= 3
R(18) (1+8)= 9
S(19) (1+9)= 10
U(21) (2+1)= 3
Similarly,
PROFIT --> FIOPRT
F(6) x2= 12
I(9) x2= 18
O(15) (1+5)= 6
P(16) (1+6)= 7
R(18) (1+8)= 9
T(20) (2+0)= 2
Thus, 12186792 is correct.
