Question

If in a certain code, WORD is written as 23-15-18-4, how will MIND be written?

• A. 13-9-14-4
• B. 14-9-13-4
• C. 13-14-9-4
• D. 13-9-13-4

Hint:

Convert letters to their alphabetical positions (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) to decode or encode.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The provided code represents the alphabetical position of each letter. For instance, in "WORD": \( W = 23, \quad O = 15, \quad R = 18, \quad D = 4 \). To find the positions for "MIND", we have: \( M = 13, \quad I = 9, \quad N = 14, \quad D = 4 \). Therefore, "MIND" is represented as: \[ 13 - 9 - 14 - 4 \] Final answer Answer: \(\boxed{13 - 9 - 14 - 4}\)
