Direct positional value substitution where each alphabet corresponds to its standard 1-based alphabetical number concatenated together.
Direct positional value substitution where each alphabet corresponds to its standard 1-based alphabetical number concatenated together.
Analyze the code for BEAT
Write the alphabetical position for each letter of BEAT: B=2, E=5, A=1, T=20. Concatenating these values gives 25120.
Apply the same logic to CAKE
Find the alphabetical position for each letter of CAKE: C=3, A=1, K=11, E=5.
Concatenate the values
Combining the positions 3, 1, 11, and 5 results in 31115.
B: 31111 is incorrect because the position of K is 11, not 1. C: 31116 is incorrect due to incorrect substitution for E. D: 32115 is incorrect due to incorrect substitution for C and A.
A is correct because the alphabetical positions of C, A, K, and E are 3, 1, 11, and 5 respectively, which concatenates to 31115.
Always check if multi-digit letter positions are concatenated directly without padding when dealing with numerical codes.
