Question

According to the given code, what is the code for 'Person'?

• A. $12\ast 16$
• B. $14\ast 18$
• C. $12$16$
• D. $16$# $18$
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$14\ast 18$

We can observe the following:
$\to$ First number of code :- (place value of last letter in reverse order ) + 1
$\to$ Symbol of code :- specified for number of letters in corresponding word as follows

3 letter word	&
4 letter word	%
5 letter word	$
6 letter word	*

$\to$ last number of code :- place value of first letter +2
(place value of 'a' is 1 and 'z' is 26 accordingly)
According to above conditions , code for 'Person' must be
$\Rightarrow$ last letter = $n$ $\Rightarrow$ place value in reverse order(i.e. place value of 'a' will be 26 and of 'z' will be 1 accordingly in reverse order ) = $13$ $\Rightarrow$ First number of code will be = $13+1=14$
$\Rightarrow$ it is a 6 letter word so symbol is $\ast$
$\Rightarrow$ place value of first letter 'p' = $16$ $\Rightarrow$ last lnumber of code will be $16+2=18$
Therefore answer is $B$
