Question

In a certain code language, MOHAN is coded as 39-45-24-3-42 and KABIR is coded as 33-3-6-27-54. How will RAGHU be coded in that language?

1. A. 54-2-21-16-42
2. B. 36-2-14-24-42
3. C. 54-3-21-24-63 (Correct answer)
4. D. 36-3-14-16-63

Correct Answer

Option C — 54-3-21-24-63

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 54-3-21-24-63.

Key Points

• Find the rule linking each letter to its code number, then apply it to the target word.
• Check MOHAN → 39-45-24-3-42 using alphabet positions (A=1 … Z=26):
• M = 13 → 39 = 13 × 3; O = 15 → 45 = 15 × 3; H = 8 → 24 = 8 × 3; A = 1 → 3; N = 14 → 42 = 14 × 3.
• So each letter's position is multiplied by 3.
• (KABIR confirms it: K=11→33, A=1→3, B=2→6, I=9→27, R=18→54.)
• Now encode RAGHU:
• R = 18 → 54, A = 1 → 3, G = 7 → 21, H = 8 → 24, U = 21 → 63.
• Result: 54-3-21-24-63.
• number-substitution codes usually apply a fixed operation (×3 here) to each letter's position; verify the rule on both given words before trusting it.

Exam Tip

• encode only until one option is uniquely matched — the first value R = 54 already rules out two options.
