Question

In a certain code language, 'PROTECT' is coded as '7'. How is 'LIMITED' written in that code language?
1. 5
2. 9
3. 10
4. 2
5. 6

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 9

Consider A → 1, B → 2, C → 3, D → 4 and so on...

PROTECT = 7

P + R + O + T + E + C + T

= 16 + 18 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 3 + 20

= 97

= 9 + 7 = 16

= 1 + 6 = 7

Similarly,

L+ I + M + I + T + E + D

= 12 + 9 + 13 + 9 + 20 + 5 + 4 

= 72

= 7 + 2 

= 9

Implies LIMITED = 9

Hence the correct answer is 9.
