If APPLE is coded as 1 - 16 - 16 - 12 - 5, how will ELPPA be coded?

1. 5 - 12 - 16 - 16 - 1
2. 1 - 5 - 12 - 16 - 16
3. 16 - 1 - 12 - 5 - 16
4. 5 - 16 - 12 - 1 - 16

Correct answer: 5 - 12 - 16 - 16 - 1

Solution

APPLE is coded by writing the alphabetical positions of its letters: A=1, P=16, P=16, L=12, E=5. For ELPPA, the positions are E=5, L=12, P=16, P=16, A=1. So the code is 5 - 12 - 16 - 16 - 1.
