Question

In a certain code the word DEAL is coded as 5-6-2-13 Following the same rule of coding how should LADY be coded?

• A. 13-5-2-26
• B. 13-2-5-26
• C. 11-2-5-24
• D. 13-2-5-23

Answer 1

The correct option is B 13-2-5-26

Given, DEAL is coded as 5-6-2-13.
Clearly, on putting A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on, we have
D = 4 + 1 = 5
E = 5 + 1 = 6
A = 1 + 1 = 2 and
L = 12 + 1 = 13
Similarly, LADY is coded as:
L = 12 + 1 = 13
A = 1 + 1 = 2
D = 4 + 1 = 5 and
Y = 25 + 1 = 26
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
