In a certain code language,
‘MARKET’ is coded as “1401910619” and
‘SILVER’ is coded as “2081321617”.
Which of the following are correct matches as per the given code language?

WORDCODE
(i) TYRES(X) 751523420
(ii) FLOWERS(Y) 1711213619
(iii) PLANET(Z) 212401218

The correct answer is

Only iii-Y

Rule: take each letter's alphabet position and add 1 and subtract 1 alternately.
MARKET: 13+1, 1–1, 18+1, 11–1, 5+1, 20–1 = 14, 0, 19, 10, 6, 19 = 1401910619

(i) TYRES: 20+1, 25–1, 18+1, 5–1, 19+1 = 21, 24, 19, 4, 20 = 212419420, which is not (Z) 212401218.

(ii) FLOWERS: 6+1, 12–1, 15+1, 23–1, 5+1, 18–1, 19+1 = 7, 11, 16, 22, 6, 17, 20 = 711162261720, which is not (X).

(iii) PLANET: 16+1, 12–1, 1+1, 14–1, 5+1, 20–1 = 17, 11, 2, 13, 6, 19 = 1711213619 = (Y)

Check: SILVER gives 20, 8, 13, 21, 6, 17 = 2081321617, confirming the rule; only (iii) matches its code.

Hence, Only iii-Y.
