Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
The positions of the individuals letters in the alphabet for the word 'water' is 23,1,20,5,18.
Hence the position of the first alphabet is used as the first number.
The sum of the first and second position (23+1=24) is used as the second number in the code.
Similarly, the sum of the second and third position (24+20=44) is used as the third number and 44+5=49 is used as the fourth number.
Applying this coding system the code obtained for 'wine' 23324651.
