If 'CAT' is '3120', then 'DOG' is:
4157
4158
5157
4167
4157
Map each letter to its standard alphabetical position (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and concatenate the resulting numbers.
Map each letter to its standard alphabetical position (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and concatenate the resulting numbers.
Analyze the pattern for CAT
Assign the standard alphabetical position to each letter: C=3, A=1, T=20. Concatenating these values gives 3120, which matches the provided code.
Apply the pattern to DOG
D is the 4th letter, O is the 15th letter, and G is the 7th letter. Combining these numeric values (4, 15, 7) results in 4157.
B: 4158 is incorrect as G is 7, not 8. C: 5157 is incorrect because D is 4, not 5. D: 4167 is incorrect because O is 15, not 16.
A is correct because the code represents the direct alphabetical position of each letter concatenated (D=4, O=15, G=7 -> 4157).
Always verify if the coding uses standard positions (A=1, Z=26) or reverse positions (A=26, Z=1) before performing complex operations.
