In a certain language, the word **CLOCK** is written as $4 – 13 – 17 – 4 – 12$. How will you write **PHONE** in the same language?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Write the position values of the letters in the word **CLOCK**:
   - C → 3
   - L → 12
   - O → 15
   - C → 3
   - K → 11

2. According to the given code, add 2 to the position value of 'O' and add 1 to the position values of the other letters:
   - C → 3 + 1 = 4
   - L → 12 + 1 = 13
   - O → 15 + 2 = 17
   - C → 3 + 1 = 4
   - K → 11 + 1 = 12

3. This matches the given code for CLOCK: $4 – 13 – 17 – 4 – 12$.

4. Apply the same pattern to the word **PHONE**:
   - P → 16
   - H → 8
   - O → 15
   - N → 14
   - E → 5

5. Add 2 to 'O' and 1 to the other letters:
   - P → 16 + 1 = 17
   - H → 8 + 1 = 9
   - O → 15 + 2 = 17
   - N → 14 + 1 = 15
   - E → 5 + 1 = 6

6. So, PHONE is coded as $17 – 9 – 17 – 15 – 6$.

**Answer:** $17 – 9 – 17 – 15 – 6$ (Option 3)
