Question (English)

In a certain code language, 'SET' is coded as '37' and 'MIX' is coded as '35'. How will 'WAR' be coded in that language?

  1. 29
  2. 39 ✓ Correct
  3. 21
  4. 32
Explanation:

Logic: The code is obtained by calculating the sum of the reverse alphabetical positions of the letters (where Z=1, Y=2, ..., A=26).

Step 1: Check 'SET' = 37

  • S (reverse position) = $27 - 19 = 8$
  • E (reverse position) = $27 - 5 = 22$
  • T (reverse position) = $27 - 20 = 7$
  • Sum: $8 + 22 + 7 = 37$

Step 2: Check 'MIX' = 35

  • M (reverse position) = $27 - 13 = 14$
  • I (reverse position) = $27 - 9 = 18$
  • X (reverse position) = $27 - 24 = 3$
  • Sum: $14 + 18 + 3 = 35$

Step 3: Calculate for 'WAR'

  • W (reverse position) = $27 - 23 = 4$
  • A (reverse position) = $27 - 1 = 26$
  • R (reverse position) = $27 - 18 = 9$
  • Sum: $4 + 26 + 9 = 39$

Thus, 'WAR' is coded as 39.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

एक निश्चित कूट भाषा में, 'SET' को '37' और 'MIX' को '35' के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया गया है। उस भाषा में 'WAR' को कैसे कूटबद्ध किया जाएगा?

  1. 29
  2. 39
  3. 21
  4. 32
स्पष्टीकरण:

तर्क: यह कोड अक्षरों के विपरीत वर्णमाला क्रम (reverse alphabetical positions) के योग द्वारा प्राप्त किया जाता है (जहाँ Z=1, A=26 होता है)। विपरीत मान निकालने के लिए हम अक्षर के सामान्य मान को 27 से घटाते हैं।

चरण 1: 'SET' = 37 की जाँच करें

  • S का विपरीत मान = $27 - 19 = 8$
  • E का विपरीत मान = $27 - 5 = 22$
  • T का विपरीत मान = $27 - 20 = 7$
  • योग: $8 + 22 + 7 = 37$

चरण 2: 'MIX' = 35 की जाँच करें

  • M का विपरीत मान = $27 - 13 = 14$
  • I का विपरीत मान = $27 - 9 = 18$
  • X का विपरीत मान = $27 - 24 = 3$
  • योग: $14 + 18 + 3 = 35$

चरण 3: 'WAR' के लिए गणना करें

  • W का विपरीत मान = $27 - 23 = 4$
  • A का विपरीत मान = $27 - 1 = 26$
  • R का विपरीत मान = $27 - 18 = 9$
  • योग: $4 + 26 + 9 = 39$

अतः, 'WAR' का कोड 39 होगा।
