Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FLED is coded as 4, 10, 3, 2, and GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18. What is the code for HECK in that code language?
Option 1: 8, 3, 1, 9
Option 2: 6, 3, 1, 11
Option 3: 6, 3, 1, 9
Option 4: 6, 3, 3, 9
Correct Answer: 6, 3, 1, 9
Solution :
Given:
FLED is coded as 4, 10, 3, 2, and GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18.
Subtract 2 from the place value of the letters of FLED, to obtain the required code –
F→6 – 2 = 4; L→12 – 2 = 10; E→5 – 2 = 3; D→4 – 2 = 2
Thus, FLED is coded as 4, 10, 3, 2.
And, GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18 –
G→7 – 2 = 5; O→15 – 2 = 13; A→1 – 2 = 25; T→20 – 2 = 18
Thus, GOAT is coded as 5, 13, 25, 18.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for HECK→
H→8 – 2 = 6; E→5 – 2 = 3; C→3 – 2 = 1; K→11 – 2 = 9
So, HECK is coded as 6, 3, 1, 9. Hence, the third option is correct.
