Question : Directions: In a certain code, A is represented by 1, B by 2, C by 3, and so on, then all multiples of 2 are assigned a code of 2, and non-multiples of 2 are assigned a code of 1. In this scheme of coding, how will the word WINDOW would be coded as?
Option 1: 112112
Option 2: 112211
Option 3: 121121
Option 4: 112221
Correct Answer: 112211
Solution :
Given:
WINDOW
Multiples of 2→B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P, R, T, V, X, Z→Code is 2
Non-multiples of 2→A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, S, U, W, Y→Code is 1
The code for WINDOW is as follows –
So, 112211 is the required code for WINDOW. Hence, the second option is correct.
