In a certain code language: 'WHERE' is coded as 5, 18, 5, 8, 23 'DELHI' is coded as 9, 8, 12, 5, 4 How 'HORSE' is coded in that language?

A5, 18, 5, 8, 20

B5, 19, 18, 15, 8 ✓ Correct

C5, 18, 19, 8, 15

D5, 19, 18, 8, 15

Correct answer: (B) 5, 19, 18, 15, 8

Explanation

Each code lists the letters of the word in reverse, using each letter's alphabet position.

WHERE reversed is E,R,E,H,W giving 5,18,5,8,23, and DELHI reversed is I,H,L,E,D giving 9,8,12,5,4.

Applying this to HORSE, reverse the letters to E,S,R,O,H.

Their positions are 5,19,18,15,8.

So HORSE is coded 5, 19, 18, 15, 8.
