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 DEER = 12215 and HIGH = 5648, how will you code HEEL?


A) 2328

B) 3449

C) 4337

D) 5229

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Clearly, each letter is coded by a numeral which is 3 less than the numeral denoting the position of the letters in the English alphabet. The code for the word is obtained by joining together physically the number codes for the individual letters.

H, E, L  ARE 8th,5th and 12th letters respectively. So, their codes are 5,2 and 9 respectively.So code of HEEL becomes 5229
