In a certain code language, 'WJSL' is coded as '25-12-21-14' and 'DUOH' is coded as '6-23-17-10'. What is the code for 'PFKR' in the given language?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Assign numerical values to letters based on their position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).

For 'WJSL':  
W = 23, J = 10, S = 19, L = 12  
Given code: 25-12-21-14

Check the pattern for each letter:  
W(23) -> 25 (+2)  
J(10) -> 12 (+2)  
S(19) -> 21 (+2)  
L(12) -> 14 (+2)

So, each letter's code is letter position + 2.

For 'DUOH':  
D = 4, U = 21, O = 15, H = 8  
Given code: 6-23-17-10

Check the pattern:  
D(4) -> 6 (+2)  
U(21) -> 23 (+2)  
O(15) -> 17 (+2)  
H(8) -> 10 (+2)

Confirms the pattern: code = letter position + 2.

Now for 'PFKR':  
P = 16, F = 6, K = 11, R = 18  
Add 2 to each:  
16 + 2 = 18  
6 + 2 = 8  
11 + 2 = 13  
18 + 2 = 20

Therefore, the code is '18-8-13-20'.
