In a certain poor language, letters with an odd position in the alphabet are replaced by 0. And those with even positions are replaced by their position numbers. Then what is the sum of the numbers in the code for word PROJECTION (position number starts from 1 for A and ends at 26 for Z)Question 16Answera.68b.80c.78d.77
Question
In a certain poor language, letters with an odd position in the alphabet are replaced by 0. And those with even positions are replaced by their position numbers. Then what is the sum of the numbers in the code for word PROJECTION (position number starts from 1 for A and ends at 26 for Z)Question 16Answera.68b.80c.78d.77
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to convert each letter in the word "PROJECTION" to its corresponding number in the "certain poor language".
Here are the steps:
-
Convert each letter to its position in the English alphabet: P(16), R(18), O(15), J(10), E(5), C(3), T(20), I(9), O(15), N(14).
-
Apply the rules of the "certain poor language": letters with an odd position are replaced by 0, and those with even positions are replaced by their position numbers. So, we get: P(0), R(18), O(0), J(0), E(0), C(0), T(20), I(0), O(0), N(14).
-
Add up all the numbers: 0 + 18 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 14 = 52.
So, the sum of the numbers in the code for the word "PROJECTION" in the "certain poor language" is 52. However, this option is not available in the provided choices (a.68, b.80, c.78, d.77). There might be a mistake in the question or the answer choices.
