RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
91411

Decoding the Letter Code Logic

The question presents a coding pattern where a word is converted into a numerical sequence. We need to find the rule connecting "PEN" to "16514" and apply it to "INK".

Analyzing the PEN Code

Let's examine the relationship between the letters in "PEN" and the number "16514".

  • P is the 16th letter of the alphabet.
  • E is the 5th letter of the alphabet.
  • N is the 14th letter of the alphabet.

By concatenating these position numbers (16, 5, 14), we get 16514. This confirms the coding rule: replace each letter with its corresponding position number in the alphabet.

Applying the Code to INK

Now, we apply the same logic to the word "INK":

  • I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
  • N is the 14th letter of the alphabet.
  • K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.

Concatenating these numbers (9, 14, 11) results in the code 91411.

Final Coded Value

Therefore, following the established pattern, "INK" will be written as 91411 in this code language.
