In a certain code, 'RAIL' is written as '1819112'. How is 'BANK' written?
211411
211311
211412
311411
211411
Identify the positional value of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and concatenate them directly.
Identify the positional value of each letter in the English alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26) and concatenate them directly.
Analyze the coding pattern of RAIL
The positions of the letters are: R=18, A=1, I=9, L=12. Concatenating these values gives 18, 1, 9, 12, resulting in 1819112.
Apply the same logic to BANK
The positions are: B=2, A=1, N=14, K=11. Concatenating these values results in 211411.
B: 211311 is incorrect because N=14, not 13. C: 211412 is incorrect because K=11, not 12. D: 311411 is incorrect because B=2, not 3.
A is correct because the code is derived by concatenating the standard alphabetical positional values of each letter: B(2), A(1), N(14), K(11) = 211411.
Always quickly check if the code represents the sum of digits or just the concatenation of positions; usually, if the code is long, it is a direct concatenation.
