In a certain code language, ‘CONFUSED’ is coded as ‘7’ and ‘CHAIN’ is coded as ‘4’. How will ‘ADULTHOOD’ be coded in that language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the given codes.
- 'CONFUSED' is coded as '7'. The word 'CONFUSED' has 8 letters.
- 'CHAIN' is coded as '4'. The word 'CHAIN' has 5 letters.

Step 2: Look for a pattern.
- The code number seems to be the count of consonants in the word.

Check 'CONFUSED':
- Letters: C O N F U S E D
- Consonants: C, N, F, S, D = 5 consonants
- But code is 7, so this doesn't match consonants.

Check vowels:
- Vowels: O, U, E = 3 vowels
- 8 letters - 3 vowels = 5 consonants, code is 7, no match.

Try counting vowels:
- 'CONFUSED' vowels: O, U, E = 3 vowels
- Code is 7, no match.

Try counting unique letters:
- Unique letters in 'CONFUSED' = C, O, N, F, U, S, E, D = 8 unique letters
- Code is 7, no match.

Try counting letters excluding vowels:
- 'CHAIN' letters: C H A I N
- Vowels: A, I = 2 vowels
- Consonants: C, H, N = 3 consonants
- Code is 4, no match.

Try counting vowels in 'CHAIN': 2 vowels, code is 4, no match.

Try counting letters with some other logic:
- Count the number of letters in the word minus 1?
- 'CONFUSED' has 8 letters, code is 7 (8-1=7)
- 'CHAIN' has 5 letters, code is 4 (5-1=4)

So the code is the number of letters in the word minus 1.

Step 3: Apply the same logic to 'ADULTHOOD'.
- 'ADULTHOOD' has 9 letters.
- Code = 9 - 1 = 8

Step 4: Check options.
- Option 3 is 8.

Therefore, the code for 'ADULTHOOD' is 8.
