Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

In a certain code language, "GRADUATE" is written as "2092623626722". How will "ARIHANT" be written in that language?


This is a pattern-recognition problem. We need to figure out how each letter becomes a number, then apply the same rule to "ARIHANT".


Let's write out the word and the code:

Word: G-R-A-D-U-A-T-E\text{G-R-A-D-U-A-T-E} (88 letters)

Code: 20926236267222092623626722

How do we split this long number into 88 parts (one for each letter)?

Let's try: 20−9−26−23−6−26−7−2220-9-26-23-6-26-7-22 (This gives us 88 segments)


Now let's find each letter's position in the alphabet and compare with the code:

G=7th\text{G} = 7^{\text{th}} letter →20\rightarrow 20

R=18th\text{R} = 18^{\text{th}} letter →9\rightarrow 9

A=1st\text{A} = 1^{\text{st}} letter →26\rightarrow 26

D=4th\text{D} = 4^{\text{th}} letter →23\rightarrow 23

U=21st\text{U} = 21^{\text{st}} letter →6\rightarrow 6

A=1st\text{A} = 1^{\text{st}} letter →26\rightarrow 26

T=20th\text{T} = 20^{\text{th}} letter →7\rightarrow 7

E=5th\text{E} = 5^{\text{th}} letter →22\rightarrow 22

Notice: 7+20=277 + 20 = 27, 18+9=2718 + 9 = 27, 1+26=271 + 26 = 27, 4+23=274 + 23 = 27

The pattern is: Code=27−(Letter Position)\text{Code} = 27 - \text{(Letter Position)}

This is the "reverse alphabet" pattern.


Let's verify:

G: 27−7=20\text{G: } 27 - 7 = 20 ✓

R: 27−18=9\text{R: } 27 - 18 = 9 ✓

A: 27−1=26\text{A: } 27 - 1 = 26 ✓

D: 27−4=23\text{D: } 27 - 4 = 23 ✓

U: 27−21=6\text{U: } 27 - 21 = 6 ✓

A: 27−1=26\text{A: } 27 - 1 = 26 ✓

T: 27−20=7\text{T: } 27 - 20 = 7 ✓

E: 27−5=22\text{E: } 27 - 5 = 22 ✓


Now let's code A-R-I-H-A-N-T\text{A-R-I-H-A-N-T} (77 letters):

A=1st\text{A} = 1^{\text{st}} letter: 27−1=2627 - 1 = 26

R=18th\text{R} = 18^{\text{th}} letter: 27−18=927 - 18 = 9

I=9th\text{I} = 9^{\text{th}} letter: 27−9=1827 - 9 = 18

H=8th\text{H} = 8^{\text{th}} letter: 27−8=1927 - 8 = 19

A=1st\text{A} = 1^{\text{st}} letter: 27−1=2627 - 1 = 26

N=14th\text{N} = 14^{\text{th}} letter: 27−14=1327 - 14 = 13

T=20th\text{T} = 20^{\text{th}} letter: 27−20=727 - 20 = 7


Combine all the codes: 26−9−18−19−26−13−726-9-18-19-26-13-7

Written together: 269181926137269181926137
