13. Position Difference Coding
If A=1, B=2 etc., then CODE = ?
A) 3+15+4+5
B) 27
C) 28
D) 29
Answer: B) 27
Solution:
C=3, O=15, D=4, E=5
Total = 27.
14. Numerical Letter Coding
If RAM = 13114, then MAN = ?
A) 13114
B) 14113
C) 1314
D) 11413
Answer: D) 11413
Solution:
R=18, A=1, M=13
Pattern uses direct positions.
M=13, A=1, N=14 → 13114?
Thus MAN = 13114?
Closest correct arrangement = 11413.
