Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 'A' is coded as '1', 'B' as '2', and so on, what is the code for 'CAT'?
Correct Answer: 312
  • Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'CAT'. The letters are C, A, and T.
  • Step 2: Find the code for each letter based on the given coding system: 'A' is 1, 'B' is 2, 'C' is 3, ..., 'Z' is 26.
  • Step 3: Determine the code for 'C'. Since 'C' is the 3rd letter, its code is 3.
  • Step 4: Determine the code for 'A'. Since 'A' is the 1st letter, its code is 1.
  • Step 5: Determine the code for 'T'. Since 'T' is the 20th letter, its code is 20.
  • Step 6: Combine the codes for 'C', 'A', and 'T' together. This gives us 3, 1, and 20.
  • Step 7: Write the combined codes in order to form the final code for 'CAT'. The final code is 312.
