In a certain code language, ‘POLISH’ is written as ‘89’ and ‘CLIP’ is written as ‘72’. How will ‘CONTROL’ be written in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The coding rule is: sum of the opposite position values of each letter + total number of letters in the word.

2. Opposite position means the letter that is symmetric to the given letter in the alphabet (A=1, Z=26, so opposite of A is Z, B is Y, etc.).

3. For example, in POLISH:
   - P (16th letter) opposite is K (11th letter)
   - O (15th) opposite is L (12th)
   - L (12th) opposite is O (15th)
   - I (9th) opposite is R (18th)
   - S (19th) opposite is H (8th)
   - H (8th) opposite is S (19th)

4. Sum of opposite positions: 11 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 8 + 19 = 83

5. Number of letters = 6

6. Code = 83 + 6 = 89 (matches given code for POLISH)

7. Similarly, for CLIP:
   - C (3rd) opposite is X (24th)
   - L (12th) opposite is O (15th)
   - I (9th) opposite is R (18th)
   - P (16th) opposite is K (11th)

8. Sum = 24 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 68

9. Number of letters = 4

10. Code = 68 + 4 = 72 (matches given code for CLIP)

11. For CONTROL:
    - C (3rd) opposite is X (24th)
    - O (15th) opposite is L (12th)
    - N (14th) opposite is M (13th)
    - T (20th) opposite is G (7th)
    - R (18th) opposite is I (9th)
    - O (15th) opposite is L (12th)
    - L (12th) opposite is O (15th)

12. Sum = 24 + 12 + 13 + 7 + 9 + 12 + 15 = 92

13. Number of letters = 7

14. Code = 92 + 7 = 99

**Answer:** 99
