Letter Sequence Pattern Analysis
The question presents a sequence where letters are assigned numerical values. We need to find the pattern to determine the value for the letter M.
- Given: H = 17, I = 19, J = 21
- Alphabetical Positions: H is the 8th letter, I is the 9th, J is the 10th, and M is the 13th.
Identifying the Numerical Pattern
Let's analyze the relationship between the letter's position in the alphabet and its assigned value.
- H (8th letter): Value = 17
- I (9th letter): Value = 19
- J (10th letter): Value = 21
Observe the difference between consecutive values:
- $19 - 17 = 2$
- $21 - 19 = 2$
The values increase by 2 for each subsequent letter in the sequence shown. Let's test a formula relating the alphabetical position ($n$) to the value ($V$). A possible formula is $V = 2n + c$.
- For H (n=8): $17 = 2 \times 8 + c \implies 17 = 16 + c \implies c = 1$.
- Test for I (n=9): $V = 2 \times 9 + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19$. (Matches)
- Test for J (n=10): $V = 2 \times 10 + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21$. (Matches)
The pattern holds: Value $= 2 \times (\text{Alphabetical Position}) + 1$.
Calculating the Value for M
M is the 13th letter of the alphabet ($n=13$). Using the established pattern:
- Value for M $= 2 \times 13 + 1$
- Value for M $= 26 + 1$
- Value for M $= 27$
Therefore, M = 27.
Similar Questions
A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix-II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented by its row and next by its column, for example, 'Z' can be represented by 87, 29, etc., and 'T' can be represented by 96, 95, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word "MAZE".
