Answer 2

Given:

LOCK = 27  

MEND = -27

To find:

"DUST" will be coded as?

Solution:

The given problem is a reasoning based problem on alphabets and numbers.

To find the number code for "DUST" we have to understand the logic behind the number code given to the words "LOCK" & "MEND".  

The letters in the English Alphabets are given their place values or it is also known as Number-to-Letter Cipher just as shown in the figure attached below.

Finding the logic behind the Number Code given to "LOCK" :  

LOCK = 27

Referring to the figure attached below we have the number positions of the letters as:

L → 12  

O → 15  

C → 3  

K → 11  

• We will add the numbers of each alphabet ⇒  12 + 15 + 3 + 11 = 41

• We will take the reverse of 41 which is 14.
• Now, we will subtract the reverse number from the original number i.e., 41 - 14 = 27.

• ∴ LOCK is coded as 27.

Similarly,  

Finding the logic behind the Number Code given to "MEND":  

MEND = -27

Referring to the figure attached below we have the number positions of the letters as:

M → 13  

E → 5  

N → 14  

D → 4

• We will add the numbers of each alphabet ⇒  13 + 5 + 14 + 4 = 36

• We will take the reverse of 36 which is 63.
• Now, we will subtract the reverse number from the original number i.e., 36 - 63 = -27.

• ∴ MEND is coded as -27.

Now,

Finding the logic behind the Number Code given to "DUST":

Referring to the figure attached below we have the number positions of the letters as:

D → 4  

U → 21

S → 19

T → 20

• We will add the numbers of each alphabet ⇒  4 + 21 + 19 + 20 = 64

• We will take the reverse of 64 which is 46.
• Now, we will subtract the reverse number from the original number i.e., 64 - 46 = 18.

• ∴ DUST is coded as 18.

Thus, $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{DUST = 18}}}.$ $\boxed\boxed{{\bold{DUST = 18}}}.$
