In a specific code, "TRUTH" is coded as "7-18-21-20-8" and "FALSE" is coded as "6-1-12-19-5". How would "LOGIC" be coded if the rule changes such that every vowel is shifted by +2 in the alphabet before being converted to its numerical position?
Explanation
To solve this problem, we must apply the specific rule provided for the word "LOGIC" regarding vowel manipulation and standard alphabetical positioning.
Step 1: Identify the standard alphabetical positions for "LOGIC"
Step 2: Apply the Vowel Shift Rule
The rule states that every vowel must be shifted by +2 in the alphabet before conversion.
L (Consonant): Remains 12.
O (Vowel): Shifted by +2 → 15+2=17.
G (Consonant): Remains 7.
I (Vowel): Shifted by +2 → 9+2=11.
C (Consonant): Remains 3.
Step 3: Combine the encoded values
Arranging the calculated values in order, we get the code:
12−17−7−11−3
Conclusion:
The encoded form of "LOGIC" is 12-17-7-11-3, which corresponds to Option 1.
