Question

If SLIPPER is coded as 17, LOTUS is coded as 7, what is the code for PEACE?

Answer 1

Hi friend,
The code for PEACE is -3

Answer 2

Answer:  PEACE is coded as 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

SLIPPER is coded as 17

it has followed the pattern below:

In alphabetical series, we know that there are 26 alphabets,

A=1, B=2 .....Z=26.

Similarly,

S = 19

L = 12

I = 9

P = 16

E = 5

R = 18

So, it adds First four alphabets and add last three alphabets and at last subtract them.

$(19+12+9+16)-(16+5+18)\\\\=17$

Similarly, in LOTUS, it added first three alphabets and last two alphabets and then subtract them.

L = 12

O = 15

T = 20

U = 21

S = 19

So, it becomes,

$(12+15+20)-(21+19)\\\\=7$

Similarly,

P = 16

E = 5

A = 1

C = 3

So, it becomes,

$(16+5+1)-(3+5)\\\\=22-8\\\\=14$

Hence, PEACE is coded as 14.
