In a certain code language:
‘WHERE’ is coded as: 5, 18, 5, 8, 23
‘DELHI’ is coded as: 9, 8, 12, 5, 4
How ‘HORSE’ is coded in that language?
- A.
5, 18, 5, 8, 20
- B.
5, 19, 18, 15, 8
- C.
5, 18, 19, 8, 15
- D.

Attempted by 50 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The coding pattern involves reversing the word and converting each letter to its alphabetical position. For 'DELHI', reversing gives 'IHLED'. I=9, H=8, L=12, E=5, D=4. This matches 9, 8, 12, 5, 4. Applying this to 'HORSE', reverse it to 'ESROH'. E=5, S=19, R=18, O=15, H=8. The code is 5, 19, 18, 15, 8.
