Either numerical code values are assigned to a word or alphabetical code letters are assigned to the numbers in these questions. Clearly, letters and numbers are correlated to each other in no other way except in relation to the position of the letters in the English alphabet. So, either this relation holo.s or the coding has to be done as per a set of given rules. In all other cases, the question is one of direct coding.

1)

If RED is coded as 6720, then how would GREEN be coded?


A) 1677199

B) 1677209

C) 16717209

D) 9207716

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, the orders letters in the word is reversed and then each letter is replaced by the numeral denoting its position in the English alphabet Next, 2 is added to each numeral and the numerals so obtained are joined together physically to get the code. Thus, we have.

RED->DER->4/5/18 -> 6/7/20 -> 6720

GREEN -> NEERG -> 14/5/5/18/7 -> 16/7/7/20/9 -> 1677209
