In a certain code language, 'LOAD' is coded as '27241613' and 'CLEAN' is coded as '2725231614'. How will 'STRIKE' be coded in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

**********************************************************
The pattern here is;
'LOAD' is coded as '27241613',
(arranging letters according to the alphabetical series)
LOAD → ADLO
So,
A → Z(26) +1= 27
D → W(23) +1= 24
L → O(15) +1= 16
O → L(12) +1= 13
Similarly,
(arranging STRIKE according to alphabetical series)
STRIKE → EIKSRT
E → V(22) +1= 23
I → R(18) +1= 19
K → P (16) +1= 17
S → I(9) +1= 10
R → H(8) +1= 9
T → G(7) +1= 8
Thus, 2319171098 is correct.
