Correct Answer: 20–8–10–15–16–21–12
Solution :
Given:
DANGER is written as 11–8–21–14–12–25
Add 7 to the positional values of the letters of DANGER, to obtain the required code –
| LETTERS | D | A | N | G | E | R |
| POSITION VALUES | 4 | 1 | 14 | 7 | 5 | 18 |
Add 7 to the positional value of each letter.
D + 7 = 11; A + 7 = 8; N + 7 = 21; G + 7 = 14; E + 7 = 12; R + 7 = 25
Thus, DANGER is coded as 11–8–21–14–12–25.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MACHINE –
| LETTERS | M | A | C | H | I | N | E |
| POSITION VALUES | 13 | 1 | 3 | 8 | 9 | 14 | 5 |
Add 7 to the positional value of each letter.
M + 7 = 20; A + 7 = 8; C + 7 = 10; H + 7= 15; I + 7 = 16; N + 7 = 21; E + 7 = 12
Thus, MACHINE is coded as 20–8–10–15–16–21–12. Hence, the second option is correct.
