Question : Directions: In a certain code language, CHECK is written as 6165622 and SURGE is written as 382136145. How will PRIEST be written in that language?
Option 1: 3236953840
Option 2: 32369538
Option 3: 161818101920
Option 4: 1618101920
Correct Answer: 3236953840
Solution :
Given:
CHECK is written as 6165622 and SURGE is written as 382136145.
Multiply the place value of consonants by 2 and write the place value of vowels as it is of the letters of CHECK, to obtain the required code –
Place values→C = 3; H = 8; E = 5; C = 3; K = 11
Now, multiply→C = 3→3 × 2 = 6; H = 8→8 × 2 = 16; E = 5; C = 3→3 × 2 = 6; K = 11→11 × 2 = 22
So, CHECK is coded as 6165622.
And, SURGE is written as 382136145 –
Place values→S = 19; U = 21; R = 18; G = 7; E = 5
Now, multiply→S = 19→19 × 2 = 38; U = 21; R = 18→18 × 2 = 36; G = 7→7 × 2 = 14; E = 5
So, SURGE is coded as 382136145.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for PRIEST –
Place values→P = 16; R = 18; I = 9; E = 5; S = 19; T = 20
Now, multiply→P = 16→16 × 2 = 32; R = 18→18 × 2 = 36; I = 9; E = 5; S = 19→19 × 2 = 38; T = 20→20 × 2 = 40
So, PRIEST is coded as 3236953840 in the code language. Hence, the first option is correct.
