If 'BHARAT' stands for 'B-8-A-18-A-20' and 'ENGLAND' stands for 'E-14-G-12-A-14-D', then how will you code 'SRILANKA'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → S-18-I-12-A-14-K-1
In both examples the letters in the odd places (1st, 3rd, 5th, ...) are kept, and each letter in an even place is replaced by its position in the alphabet.
BHARAT: B kept, H \(=8\), A kept, R \(=18\), A kept, T \(=20\): B-8-A-18-A-20
ENGLAND: E kept, N \(=14\), G kept, L \(=12\), A kept, N \(=14\), D kept: E-14-G-12-A-14-D
Applying the rule to SRILANKA:
S kept, R \(=18\), I kept, L \(=12\)
A kept, N \(=14\), K kept, A \(=1\)
Code: S-18-I-12-A-14-K-1
