In a certain code language, ‘FALEN’ is coded as ‘7213615’ and ‘IMPAL’ is coded as ‘101417213’. What is the code for ‘PAPER’?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 17217619
Write each letter as its place in the alphabet and compare with the code: every letter is written as its place plus 1.
FALEN: F (6), A (1), L (12), E (5), N (14) become 7, 2, 13, 6, 15, written together as 7213615
IMPAL: I (9), M (13), P (16), A (1), L (12) become 10, 14, 17, 2, 13, written together as 101417213
PAPER: P (16), A (1), P (16), E (5), R (18) become 17, 2, 17, 6, 19
So PAPER is coded as 17217619.
