Question

In a certain code language, BAG is coded as 4149 and CAT is coded as 91400. How is MAN coded in that language?

• A. 1961225
• B. 1691196
• C. 1441169
• D. 1211100

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The coding pattern in this puzzle involves converting each letter into a number corresponding to its position in the alphabet and then squaring each of these numbers. Let’s break down the code for ”BAG”:

• B→2→2²=4
• A→1→1²=1
• G→7→7²=49

Thus, BAG →4149.

For the word ”MAN”:

• M→13→13²=169
• A→1→1²=1
• N→14→14² =196

When these squared values are concatenated together, ”MAN” becomes 1691196. Thus, the correct code for ”MAN” is 1691196.

Conclusion: Not applicable in this case, as the conclusion is embedded within the explanation.
