Question

In a certain code, the word DALF is coded as 4 - 1 - 12 - 6. Following the same rule of coding, what should be the code for the word GIRL?

• A. 7 — 9 — 14 — 15
• B. 7 — 1 — 14 — 11
• C. 7 — 1— 14 — 15
• D. 7 — 9 —14 — 22
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is E

None of these

Clearly, each letter is coded by the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet.

Thus, A is coded as 1, B as 2, C as 3, D as 4, ..., L as 12, M as 13, ..., Y as 25, Z as 26.

So, the code for GIRL is 7 - 9 - 18 - 12.
