In a code language, 'PROVEN' is coded as “17325132114” and “GROUND” is coded as “7122413215”. Which of the following are correct matches as per the given code language?WORD CODE (i) SOWN (X) 1019111 (ii) VILE (Y) 17211817 (iii) CHUG (Z) 8101219
i-Y, iii-X only
The code is formed in two moves: the word is written in reverse order, and then the alphabet positions of its letters are changed alternately by +3 and −2, the numbers being written one after another.
Step 1 — PROVEN reversed is NEVORP: N(14)+3 = 17, E(5)−2 = 3, V(22)+3 = 25, O(15)−2 = 13, R(18)+3 = 21, P(16)−2 = 14, giving 17325132114. GROUND reversed is DNUORG: 7, 12, 24, 13, 21, 5, giving 7122413215. The rule fits both words.
Step 2 — SOWN reversed is NWOS: 14+3 = 17, 23−2 = 21, 15+3 = 18, 19−2 = 17, giving 17211817, which is (Y). So i-Y is correct.
Step 3 — CHUG reversed is GUHC: 7+3 = 10, 21−2 = 19, 8+3 = 11, 3−2 = 1, giving 1019111, which is (X). So iii-X is correct.
Step 4 — VILE reversed is ELIV: 5+3 = 8, 12−2 = 10, 9+3 = 12, 22−2 = 20, giving 8101220, which differs from (Z) 8101219. So VILE has no matching code in the list.
Any choice that matches VILE with (X) or (Z), SOWN with (Z), or CHUG with (Y) contradicts these codes, so only SOWN–(Y) and CHUG–(X) are correct matches.
i-Y, iii-X only option is correct.
