In a certain code, 'KNIFE' is written as 1114090605. How would 'BREAD' be written in that code?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The code for 'KNIFE' is 1114090605.

Let's find the alphabetical positions of each letter:

  • K is the 11th letter
  • N is the 14th letter
  • I is the 9th letter
  • F is the 6th letter
  • E is the 5th letter

Breaking down the code 1114090605 into pairs:

11 - 14 - 09 - 06 - 05

The pattern is: each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet as a 2-digit number (with leading zero if the position is single-digit).


Applying this pattern to 'BREAD':

B is the 2nd letter = 02

R is the 18th letter = 18

E is the 5th letter = 05

A is the 1st letter = 01

D is the 4th letter = 04


Combining these 2-digit codes:

BREAD = 02 - 18 - 05 - 01 - 04 = 0218050104

Therefore, the answer is Option 3.
