WORD : 23, 15, 18, 4 :: WRITE : ?
To solve this problem, we need to understand the pattern or logic used to convert the word "WORD" into the numbers 23, 15, 18, 4, and apply similar logic to convert "WRITE".
Let's analyze the word "WORD" and its corresponding numbers:
| Letter | W | O | R | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position in Alphabet | 23 | 15 | 18 | 4 |
Here, each letter of the word "WORD" is replaced by its position in the English alphabet:
- W is the 23rd letter.
- O is the 15th letter.
- R is the 18th letter.
- D is the 4th letter.
Now let's apply this logic to the word "WRITE":
| Letter | W | R | I | T | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position in Alphabet | 23 | 18 | 9 | 20 | 5 |
- W is the 23rd letter.
- R is the 18th letter.
- I is the 9th letter.
- T is the 20th letter.
- E is the 5th letter.
Thus, "WRITE" corresponds to the sequence 23, 18, 9, 20, 5.
Hence, the correct option that replaces the question mark is 23, 18, 9, 20, 5.
Note: Always convert letters into numeric positions to solve this type of problem. This technique is often used in logical reasoning questions.
