In a certain code language, 'CHECK' is written as '6165622' and 'SURGE' is written as '382136145'. How will 'PRIEST' be written in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
The logic here;
(consonants place value x2)
(vowels place value coded as a number)
So,
C(3) x2= 6
H(6) x2= 12
E(5) = 5
C(3) x2= 6
K(11) x2= 22
And,
S(19) x2= 38
U(21) = 21
R(18) x2= 36
G(7) x2= 14
E(5) = 5
Similarly,
P(16) x2= 32
R(18) x2= 36
I(9) = 9
E(5) = 5
S(19) x2= 38
T(20) x2= 40
Thus, 3236953840 is correct.
