The coded representation of the word “BOIL”.
What’s given in the problem
The word “ACNE” is coded as “3, 7, 29, 11”.
How to solve
Identify the pattern in the coding of “ACNE” and apply it to “BOIL”.
Step 1: Identify the pattern in the coding of “ACNE”
A is 1, C is 3, N is 14, and E is 5.
The codes are 3, 7, 29, 11.
The pattern is:
1 + 2 = 3
3 + 4 = 7
14 + 15 = 29
5 + 6 = 11
Step 2: Apply the pattern to code “BOIL”
B is 2, O is 15, I is 9, and L is 12.
For B: 2 + 3 = 5
For O: 15 + 16 = 31
For I: 9 + 10 = 19
For L: 12 + 13 = 25
Step 3: Combine the codes for “BOIL”
The code for BOIL is 5, 31, 19, 25.
Solution
The coded representation of BOIL is 5, 31, 19, 25.
