Decoding the Alphabetical Code Logic
This problem involves a simple substitution cipher where each letter in a word is replaced by its corresponding numerical position in the English alphabet. Let's break down the examples given:
- A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26.
Let's verify this logic with the provided examples:
Example 1: RAIN
- R is the 18th letter of the alphabet.
- A is the 1st letter of the alphabet.
- I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
- N is the 14th letter of the alphabet.
Combining these numbers gives us '18-1-9-14', which matches the code provided for 'RAIN'.
Example 2: CLOUD
- C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet.
- L is the 12th letter of the alphabet.
- O is the 15th letter of the alphabet.
- U is the 21st letter of the alphabet.
- D is the 4th letter of the alphabet.
Combining these numbers gives us '3-12-15-21-4', which matches the code provided for 'CLOUD'.
Applying the Code Logic to 'WEATHER'
Now, we apply the same alphabetical position logic to the word 'WEATHER':
We need to find the numerical position for each letter in 'WEATHER':
| Letter | Alphabetical Position |
|---|---|
| W | 23 |
| E | 5 |
| A | 1 |
| T | 20 |
| H | 8 |
| E | 5 |
| R | 18 |
Combining these numbers in order, we get the code for 'WEATHER':
23-5-1-20-8-5-18
Final Answer Verification
Let's compare our derived code with the given options:
- 23-5-8-20-1-5-18
- 23-5-1-21-9-5-18
- 23-5-1-20-8-5-18
- 23-6-1-20-8-6-18
Our calculated code '23-5-1-20-8-5-18' matches option 3 exactly.
