Question : Directions: In a certain code language, SURE is coded as 20, 22, 19, 6, and THEM is coded as 21, 9, 6, 14. What is the code for SELF in that code language?
Option 1: 20, 6, 13, 7
Option 2: 20, 6, 12, 7
Option 3: 20, 5, 13, 7
Option 4: 19, 6, 13, 7
Correct Answer: 20, 6, 13, 7
Solution :
Given:
SURE is coded as 20, 22, 19, 6, and THEM is coded as 21, 9, 6, 14.
Add 1 to the positional values of the given word to obtain the code.
SURE→19 + 1; 21 + 1; 18 + 1; 5 + 1 = 20, 22, 19, 6.
THEM→20 + 1; 8 + 1; 5 + 1; 13 + 1 = 21, 9, 6,14.
Similarly, SELF→19 + 1; 5 + 1; 12 + 1; 6 + 1 = 20, 6, 13, 7.
So, SELF is coded as 20, 6, 13, 7. Hence, the first option is correct,
