If ‘CASE’ is coded as ‘5231’, ‘CHAIR’ is coded as ‘58206’ and ‘TEACH’ is coded as ‘71258’, what does ‘586037’ stand for?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → CHRIST
Each letter has its own digit, in the same order as the letters (C is 5 in all three words, A is 2 in all three). Build the list and read 586037 back into letters.
CASE = 5231: C = 5, A = 2, S = 3, E = 1
CHAIR = 58206: H = 8, I = 0, R = 6
TEACH = 71258: T = 7, and E = 1, A = 2, C = 5, H = 8 as before
586037: 5 = C, 8 = H, 6 = R, 0 = I, 3 = S, 7 = T
So 586037 stands for CHRIST.
