If 'RED' is coded as '1854', then 'GREEN' is:
7185514
718514
71855
718515
7185514
Write down the positional values of letters (A=1 to Z=26) and concatenate them side-by-side to form the code.
Write down the positional values of letters (A=1 to Z=26) and concatenate them side-by-side to form the code.
Analyze the given pattern
In RED, the positions are R=18, E=5, D=4. Concatenating these numbers gives 1854.
Apply pattern to GREEN
Map each letter of GREEN to its A=1, B=2... Z=26 position: G=7, R=18, E=5, E=5, N=14. Combining these gives 7-18-5-5-14, which results in 7185514.
B: Incorrect as it misses one 5, C: Incorrect as it misses the final 14, D: Incorrect as it replaces the final 14 with 15.
A is correct because the code is formed by simply writing the A-Z alphabetical position of each letter in the word in sequence.
Always verify if the code is a direct substitution or a mathematical operation. If the number of digits in the code equals the sum of the letters' digit counts, it is likely a direct positional concatenation.
