Option 1: 20181347
Option 2: 20189147
Option 3: 20183147
Option 4: 20183174
Correct Answer: 20183147
Solution :
Given:
BREAK is written as 2182111, and COLOUR is written as 34124518.
First, write the place values of consonants present in the word BREAK and COLOUR as they appear in the English alphabetical series, and positions of vowels are written as (A→1, E→2, I→3, O→4, U→5)
B→2; R→18; E→2; A→1; K→11
Thus, BREAK is written as 2182111.
COLOUR is written as 34124518 –
C→3; O→4; L→12; O→4; U→5; R→18
Thus, COLOUR is coded 34124518.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for TRING –
T→20; R→18; I→3; N→14; G→7
So, TRING is coded as 20183147 in the code language. Hence, the third option is correct.
