Question

If HIDE and CAGE are coded as 19-23-7-11 and 5-2-17-11 respectively, then what is the code for HIGH?

• A. 5-17-1-2
• B. 17-19-13-17
• C. 13-3-1-2
• D. 19-23-17-19

Hint:

When solving letter-to-number coding problems, check the pattern of letters and their corresponding numbers carefully. The pattern might be consistent across different words.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are given the following codes:
- HIDE is coded as 19-23-7-11
- CAGE is coded as 5-2-17-11
Let's break down the pattern:
1. For HIDE:
- H = 19
- I = 23
- D = 7
- E = 11
2. For CAGE:
- C = 5
- A = 2
- G = 17
- E = 11
Now, let's find the code for HIGH:
- H corresponds to 19 (from HIDE).
- I corresponds to 23 (from HIDE).
- G corresponds to 17 (from CAGE).
- H corresponds to 19 (from HIDE).
Thus, the code for HIGH is 19-23-17-19.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 19-23-17-19.
