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.
