Question 41

In a certain code language, ‘SURGEON’ is written as '5-3-6-17-19-9-10' then how will ‘DENTIST’ be written in the same code language?

Solution

Given, ‘SURGEON’ is written as '5-3-6-17-19-9-10'

The logic here is

S = 19 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 19 = 5

U = 21 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 21 = 3

R = 18 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 18 = 6

G = 7 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 7 = 17

E = 5 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 5 = 19

O = 15 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 15 = 9

N = 14 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 14 = 10

The assigned value in the code language is the difference of 24 and respective value of letter.

Similarly,

D = 4 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 4 = 20

T= 20 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 20 = 4

I = 9 $$\longrightarrow\ $$ 24 - 9 = 15

$$\therefore\ $$DENTIST is written as 20-19-10-4-15-5-4 in the code language.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
