In a certain code language, BRING is coded as ‘7149182’ and SMILE is coded as ‘51291319’. What will be the code for FORGIVE?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the coding pattern:

First, write the letters and their corresponding code digits for BRING and SMILE:

BRING → 7 1 4 9 1 8 2
SMILE → 5 1 2 9 1 3 1 9

But BRING has 5 letters and 7 digits, SMILE has 5 letters and 8 digits. Let's check if the code is split per letter:

Let's try to split the code for BRING:
B R I N G
7 1 4 9 1 8 2

But that's 7 digits for 5 letters. Let's check if each letter is mapped to a pair of digits, or if the code is a combination of positions or alphabet values.

Let's check the alphabet positions:
B = 2
R = 18
I = 9
N = 14
G = 7

But the code is 7149182. Let's check if the code is a concatenation of the alphabet positions in some order.

Now, let's check SMILE:
S = 19
M = 13
I = 9
L = 12
E = 5

Code: 51291319

Let's try to split as per the letters:
S M I L E
5 1 2 9 1 3 1 9

But that's 8 digits for 5 letters. Let's try to pair the digits:
SMILE: 5 12 9 13 19

Now, 5 (E), 12 (L), 9 (I), 13 (M), 19 (S)
So, the code is the alphabet positions of the letters in reverse order!

Check for BRING:
B R I N G
G = 7
N = 14
I = 9
R = 18
B = 2
So, code: 7 14 9 18 2
But the code is 7149182, which matches if we concatenate the numbers: 7 14 9 18 2

Similarly, for SMILE:
E = 5
L = 12
I = 9
M = 13
S = 19
So, code: 5 12 9 13 19
Concatenated: 51291319

So, the code is the alphabet positions of the letters, written in reverse order and concatenated.

Now, for FORGIVE:
F O R G I V E
Reverse: E V I G R O F
E = 5
V = 22
I = 9
G = 7
R = 18
O = 15
F = 6
So, code: 5 22 9 7 18 15 6
Concatenated: 5229718156

Thus, the correct answer is option 4: 5229718156.
