Select the correct answerIf RED is coded as 6720, then how is GREEN coded?Options16771999207716167720916717209
Solution 1
The question is about a code where each letter corresponds to a number. In the given example, RED is coded as 6720.
Let's break it down:
R = 18 (position in the alphabet) E = 5 (position in the alphabet) D = 4 (position in the alphabet)
So, if we reverse the digits of each number we get 81 for R, 50 for E and 40 for D. This gives us 815040 which is not equal to 6720. So, the coding is not about reversing the digits.
Let's try another approach:
R = 18, if we multiply it by 10 we get 180 E = 5, if we multiply it by 100 we get 500 D = 4, if we multiply it by 1000 we get 4000
If we add these numbers together, we get 180 + 500 + 4000 = 4680 which is still not equal to 6720.
So, the coding is not about multiplying the position in the alphabet by a certain number and adding them together.
Without a clear pattern or rule for the coding, it's impossible to determine how GREEN would be coded. The question might be missing some information or the coding rule might be more complex than it seems.
Solution 2
The question seems to be a type of alphanumeric coding-decoding problem, often found in reasoning sections of various competitive exams. Here, each letter is represented by a number.
Let's decode the given example: RED is coded as 6720.
If we look at the positions of these letters in the English alphabet: R is the 18th letter, E is the 5th letter, and D is the 4th letter.
If we double each of these numbers, we get: R: 182 = 36 E: 52 = 10 D: 4*2 = 8
Now, if we concatenate these numbers, we get 36108, which is not the code given in the problem (6720). So, this approach doesn't seem to work.
Let's try another approach. If we look closely, we can see that the code for RED (6720) is actually the reverse of the doubled values we calculated above (36108). So, the correct coding method seems to be: double the position of each letter in the alphabet, then reverse the entire sequence of numbers.
Let's apply this method to the word GREEN:
G is the 7th letter in the alphabet, so 72 = 14. R is the 18th letter in the alphabet, so 182 = 36. E is the 5th letter in the alphabet, so 52 = 10. E is the 5th letter in the alphabet, so 52 = 10. N is the 14th letter in the alphabet, so 14*2 = 28.
Concatenating these numbers gives us 1436101028. Reversing this sequence gives us 8201016341.
So, GREEN should be coded as 8201016341. However, this option is not given in the list of options provided. It seems there might be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
