Question

If in a certain code , AUGUST is written as 26-19-4-17-14-14, then how would JANUARY be written as?

• A. 11-2-15-22-2-19-26
• B. 9--25-11-22-6-17-1
• C. 11-2-15-25-2.5-16
• D. 9-25-11-17-22-12-18

Answer 1

The correct option is D 9-25-11-17-22-12-18

Let's consider A=1 |, | B=2 |, _ _ _ _,| Z=26 |

Now

A-1=26

U-2=19

G-3=4

U-4=17

S-5=14

T-6=14

We see that the number subtracted by the alphabet is incremented by 1.

Corresponding to this pattern JANUARY will be coded as,

J-1=9

A-2=25

N-3=11

U-4=17

A-5=22

R-6=12

Y-7=18

The code will be,

9-25-11-17-22-12-18

Hence option D is the correct answer.
