Question : Directions: In a certain code language, HERO is coded as 741714. ICON is coded as 821413. What is the code for JOIN in that code language?
Option 1: 814913
Option 2: 914813
Option 3: 914913
Option 4: 1014813
Correct Answer: 914813
Solution :
Given:
HERO is coded as 741714, and ICON is coded as 821413.
Subtract 1 from the place values of the letters of HERO and ICON to get the required codes –
Like in, HERO ⇒ H→8; (8 – 1) = 7; E→5; (5 – 1) = 4; R→18; (18 – 1) = 17; O→15; (15 – 1) = 14
Thus, HERO is coded as 741714.
And in ICON ⇒ I→9 (9 – 1) = 8; C→3; (3 – 1) = 2; O→15; (15 – 1) = 14; N→14; (14 – 1) = 13
Thus, ICON is coded as 821413.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for JOIN –
JOIN ⇒ J→10; (10 – 1) = 9; O→15; (15 – 1) = 14; I→9; (9 – 1) = 8; N→14; (14 – 1) = 13
So, JOIN is coded as 914813. Hence, the second option is correct.
