Question

If ACNE is coded as 3, 7, 29, 11 then B, O, I, L will be coded as :

• A. 5, 31, 21, 25
• B. 5, 31, 19, 25
• C. 5, 29, 19, 25
• D. 5, 29, 19, 27

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5, 31, 19, 25

Given, ACNE is coded as 3, 7, 29, 11. Here, the coded pattern is as:
The position of letter A, C, N and E in alphabetical order are 1, 3 , 14 and 5 respectively.
A = 1 X 2 + 1 = 3,
C = 3 X 2 + 1 = 7,
N = 14 X 2 + 1 = 29,
E = 5 X 2 + 1 = 11.
Similarly, B, O, I, L is coded as:
B = 2 X 2 + 1 = 5,
O = 15 X 2 + 1 = 31,
I = 9 X 2 + 1 = 19 and
L = 12 X 2 + 1 = 25
Hence, B, O, I, L is coded as 5, 31, 19 and 25.
Therefore, option (B) is the correct answer.
