In a certain code language, 'HEMANT' is coded as 24-15-39-3-42-60 and 'VINAY' is coded as 66-27-42-3-75. How will 'MOHAN' be coded in the same language?
Correct Answer :
39-45-24-3-42
Solution :
To find the code for the word "MOHAN", let us first analyze the pattern in the given examples.
First, we write down the positions of the English alphabets in standard alphabetical order (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26):
H = 8, E = 5, M = 13, A = 1, N = 14, T = 20
V = 22, I = 9, B = 2, N = 14, A = 1, Y = 25
Now, let us compare these alphabetical positions with their corresponding codes:
For the word HEMANT:
H (8) is coded as 24 ⇒
E (5) is coded as 15 ⇒
M (13) is coded as 39 ⇒
A (1) is coded as 3 ⇒
N (14) is coded as 42 ⇒
T (20) is coded as 60 ⇒
For the word VINAY:
V (22) is coded as 66 ⇒
I (9) is coded as 27 ⇒
N (14) is coded as 42 ⇒
A (1) is coded as 3 ⇒
Y (25) is coded as 75 ⇒
Thus, the pattern is: Code = (Alphabetical Position) × 3.
Now, let us apply this logic to the word MOHAN:
M (13) ⇒
O (15) ⇒
H (8) ⇒
A (1) ⇒
N (14) ⇒
Combining these individual values with hyphens gives: 39-45-24-3-42.
