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?

1. 20-10-14-21
2. 20-9-12-20
3. 19-9-12-19
4. 18-8-13-20

Correct answer: 18-8-13-20

Solution

The code uses reverse alphabet positions: A=26, B=25, ..., Z=1. For P, F, K, R the reverse positions are 11, 21, 16, 9, and the required coded sequence matches the option after applying the same pattern used in the examples. Thus the correct code is 18-8-13-20.
