Question:

In a certain code language, 'TOMATO' is coded as 40-30-26-2-30 and 'GINGER' is coded as 14-18-28-14-10-36. How will 'GARLIC' be coded in that language ?

Options:

14-2-36-24-18-6

7-2-18-24-18-3

7-1-36-12-9-16

14-1-18-24-18-3

Correct Answer:

14-2-36-24-18-6

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 pattern;

T(20)  x2= 40

O(15)  x2= 30

M(13)   x2= 26

A(1)  x2= 2

T(20)  x2= 40

O(15)  x2= 30

Similarly,

G(7)  x2= 14

A(1)  x2= 2

R(18)  x2= 36

L(12)  x2= 24

I(9)  x2= 18

C(3)  x2= 6

Thus, 14-2-36-24-18-6 is correct.
